SHFPACT, together with CarersACT, recently produced a Menopause Brochure in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese,
Spanish and Tongan, as well as PowerPoint presentations in the five community languages. Brochures are now available
for download.
Menopause is a normal episode in a woman's life, which all women encounter in middle age. Many women from
culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, however, often find it difficult to access information and health support
services in a way that is appropriate for them.
SHFPACT and CarersACT applied jointly to the Health Promotions Grants (Healthpact) to develop high quality
information products and presentations in five community languages. The project, which involved staff from SHFPACT's
Menopause Centre, SHFPACT's Professional & Community Education Program, as well as translators from CarersACT,
produced five fabulous brochures, and presented Menopause Information Workshops in community languages to carer
groups from CarersACT's "Caring Across Communities" program.
The brochures are available from SHFPACT's Library & Resource Centre. Phone 6247 3077 to get your copy.
