Who are we
The Menopause Inclusion Collective is a natural progression of the collaborative style and shared values of Dr Helen Douglas, Douglas Consultancy and Sarah Williams, Equality Counts, whose collective vision is that ‘no-one is left out’ of the menopause movement.
Conversations between these collaborators on matters of menopause and inclusion highlighted that menopause activists and people working in the sector would be ‘stronger together’ in striving for their mission of inclusion in the menopause sphere. They are delighted to be joined by like-minded people striving for the collective vision of inclusion in menopause - all people, all stories, no judgment.
