Empowering Women's Health
"Solas FRC hosted the Empowering Women’s Health & Wellness Programme over three Wednesdays in March, focused on perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause."
Empowering Women’s Health Programme Brings Women Together in Headford
Over the past few weeks, Solas Family Resource Centre, Headford was delighted to host the Empowering Women’s Health & Wellness Programme, which ran over three consecutive Wednesdays – 11th March, 18th March and 25th March. The programme focused on Perimenopause, Menopause and Postmenopause, providing women with practical information, expert advice and a welcoming space to connect with others.
The free programme, delivered in partnership with Healthy Ireland Galway, was live streamed to community venues across County Galway, bringing women together in a supportive environment to learn, share experiences and support one another.
Each session featured expert guest speakers covering a wide range of topics, including:
- Sleep hygiene and healthy ageing
- Yoga for wellbeing and resilience
- Mental health and emotional wellbeing
- Exercise therapy
- Breathwork
- Pelvic health
- Women’s health
- Resistance training
- Nutrition
Alongside practical health and wellbeing advice, participants enjoyed a relaxed social atmosphere with light refreshments, creating opportunities to meet other women, ask questions and realise they are not alone in their experiences.
A Fantastic Response in Headford
The response from the Headford community exceeded all expectations, with over 20 women registering for the programme. Interest was so high that a waiting list had to be created, highlighting the growing demand for accessible information and support around women’s health.
It was wonderful to see so many women taking time for themselves, supporting one another, and engaging so openly throughout the three-week programme.
We would like to sincerely thank all of the expert speakers, Healthy Ireland Galway and everyone who attended for making the programme such a success.
