Menarche Menstruation Menopause and Mental Health (4M) conference. 20th and 21st June 2024.

Theme: Menstrual & Mental Health in Society

For our inaugural conference the overarching theme is “Menstrual and Mental Health in Society“.

We are looking forward to hearing about research and practice relevant to menstrual, menopausal and/or mental health, but we are particularly interested in work that addresses topics related to this theme. For example:

• bidirectional relationships between socioeconomic position and menstrual health and wellbeing
• the role of education in improving menstrual health awareness and reducing negative impacts on mental health in schools
• workplace policies like menstrual or menopausal leave
• menstruation in humanitarian crises
• socio-legal issues around smartphone period tracking data
• digital health and femtech
• the gender data/health gap
• the impact of menstrual health on social wellbeing
• And much more!

We want these two days to be reflective of the 4M mission to foster collaborative interdisciplinary work within the 4Ms. This means we want to showcase work beyond academic research and we strongly encourage non-academic stakeholders to attend and present at the conference. We also strongly encourage early career researchers (including PhD students) to attend.

The conference meal will be held on the 20th of June 2024.
