Preparing for the Next Phase: An informational and experiential workshop on physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of menopause

An information manual from a menopause workshop hosted by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC) in 1996. The manual includes information on the stages of menopause, symptoms of menopause, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and some considerations for women who are contemplating HRT (including risk factors associated with HRT), and some alternatives to HRT. The manual provides information on herbal remedies for balancing hormones and alleviating the symptoms of menopause, as well as information on meditation and food sources of calcium for preventing bone loss.
