Recent menopause workshiops have used virtual reality headsets to help open up the conversation around the subject, MS founder Diane Danzebrink told BBC Three Counties Radio.<\/p>\n
She was talking about a series of workshops conducted by the organisation Wellbeing of Women in October, which featured the sci-fi looking headsets.<\/p>\n
Diane told presenter Kady Braine attendees at the workshops were able to use the headsets to view a short film which gave a very personalised experience of menopause before a reflective discussion which many people felt “opened up the conversation wider”.<\/p>\n
“Seeing something on a virtual reality headset is a very personal experience and it has a very direct impact on people.” she added.<\/p>\n
Diane said that not just women, but a number of men had attended the workshops and the feedback had been really positive.<\/p>\n
The menopause campaign in the workplace had come a long way in the past few years, particularly with bigger employers.<\/p>\n
But the aim of the campaign was to ensure that everyone whatever size company they worked for had support.<\/p>\n
