Description
This session will explore whole woman health across the life course, with a focus on menstrual health, reproductive and sexual health, and perinatal care. Designed specifically for Community Health Workers, the session will connect public health concepts to real-world, community-based practice. Participants will strengthen their confidence in addressing sensitive topics, including menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum care, and health literacy. The session will emphasize practical tools CHWs can use immediately to support women, girls, and families, reduce stigma, and improve health outcomes through education, advocacy, and compassionate care.

  • Describe key reproductive, menstrual, and perinatal health needs across the life course, from adolescence through postpartum and beyond.
