SUMMARY:The M Factor Documentary
LOCATION:Compton Union Building
DESCRIPTION:The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause\n\n\n\nMenopause might seem far off, but its impact is closer than you think - affecting your future health, relationships, and the women you know and love right now.\n\n\n\nIn this powerful PBS documentary (watch the preview), The M Factor breaks through the stigma, misinformation, and silence surrounding menopause. Hear real stories, learn the science, and discover why talking about it now can change the way we care for ourselves and each other. Sometimes described as a silent epidemic, menopause impacts the well-being of millions of women. Not only are women struggling with the varied and complex physical symptoms of menopause, but they are also dealing with related stresses of lost wages, upended careers, family disruptions, and emotional chaos.\n\nWhy you should attend\n\n\n\n 	Understand what menopause really is (and isn't)\n\n 	Learn how it intersects with gender, workplace equity, and health justice\n\n 	Start conversations that can change campus culture around women's health\n\n 	Space for honest, judgement-free discussion\n\n\n\nAmy Sharp, the director of the Women* Center, and Katie Forsythe, scholarly assistant professor of Human Development and past president of AFW, said the cultural norm is for women to deal with menopause alone and to not talk about it. Films such as The M Factor are part of a growing trend to encourage more public conversation around the topic. They encourage everyone who would like to learn more about menopause, whether they have experienced it or not, to attend the screening.\n\nExpert Q & A\n\nFollows the screening\n\n\n\n 	Kimberly McBride, associate professor in the School of Molecular Biosciences\n\n 	Angeline Smith, advanced registered nurse practitioner at Pullman Regional Hospital, Pullman Family Medicin\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Association of Faculty Women, Presidents Commission on the Status of Women, and Women*s Center - Strengthening Community, Envisioning Justice.
