The benefits of this workshop are t wofold. First\, educating our girls to understand how lifestyle and diet i mpact their periods and overall health with practical tips for healthy liv ing. Second\, to create “period kits” to be distributed to women and g irls who do not have access to period products (1 in 4 women and girls do not have access to period products).\n\n\nActivities\nThis workshop is des igned for girls and their caregivers. It will be divided into two parts:\n \n\n - During the first half\, Katie Tredo from Cultivate Your Wellbeing will speak to girls and their caregivers about period health to empower gi rls to understand and take control of their health. Attendees will learn h ealthy lifestyle tips\, symptom management outside of the typical NSAIDs o r hormonal pills given to control periods\, and learn how to look at their period as an important vital sign for their health. This workshop is not designed to take the place of human growth and development or explain the physiology of the reproductive system. Instead\, it is an opportunity to l earn health and wellness tips to support healthy periods and  healthy gir ls that are often not taught elsewhere. We recommend that girls have eithe r had a class on human growth and development at school or have had detail ed conversations with their caregiver and are informed about the menstrual cycle prior to attending. \n - During the second part of the workshop\, the girls will learn what period poverty is and assemble Period Kits with pads\, tampons\, and a personal note to be donated to Milwaukee Diaper Mi ssion and distributed through their Period Program.\n\nImpact\nThe girls ( and caregivers) who attend will learn healthy lifestyle tips\, symptom man agement outside of the typical NSAIDs or hormonal pills often given to con trol periods\, and how to look at their period as an important vital sign for their health. In past workshops\, we have had caregivers comment on ho w much they learned right along with their girls!\n\nWhen &\; Where\nSu nday\, April 19 from 2-3 p.m.\nWhitefish Bay Public Library \n5420 N.
