Periods 101 for Community Organizations
This workshop is designed to support community organizations and their clients in learning about periods, menstrual health, and how to access free period products in a supportive and stigma-free environment.
For Community Organizations
If your community organization supports people who menstruate, we offer free education and resources to help you build more period-positive, stigma-aware spaces.
