Menstrual Cycle Awareness and Life/Study Planning.

We are excited to offer these innovative and interactive sessions for college and university age students. They will equip students with increased knowledge, awareness and confidence in managing their menstrual cycle and using this newfound awareness to influence how they plan their life and studying.  See here for current research being undertaken by Kings College London alongside our sessions. 

So far we have worked with Bath Spa,  Bangor and Kings College London Universities & would be happy to discuss your requirements – use our contact form to get in touch.

“‘For once, having a period felt like a good thing!’ This was one example of the kinds of positive reviews we received from King’s College London (KCL) students and staff who attended the Real Period Project Information Sessions between 2024 – 25. Over several months, Emily partnered with us at KCL to research how universities can better support menstruating staff and students and how menstruators use—and might use—digital technologies to do this. Emily’s sessions, whether online or in-person, were always safe and welcoming spaces to explore these ideas and ask questions, without any sense of shame, about things participants felt they should and needed to know. She brought kindness and laughter to the conversations, without holding back on some shocking realities about how little research there is into menstrual health. Participants came to the sessions from very different and diverse backgrounds, and for many, this was the first time they had had the opportunity to think and talk so openly about their periods. They left feeling empowered and wanting more! We hope this research is just the beginning of an ongoing and open conversation about menstruation in higher education and are bloody thankful to Emily for making this possible.”
