Pizza, Pints, & Periods: A Dad's Guide to Talking about Menstruation

Hey dads (and male caregivers, doddys, papas, pamas, nopas!) looking to find empathy and real-world knowledge to discuss menstruation with your daughters or menstruators?

Whether they are near their first period, or it feels far away... join Ms. Moxie's Moon Shop and River Grove Therapy experts for an interactive workshop designed to equip fathers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to have meaningful conversations about this important milestone.

This workshop provides an informal and supportive environment for you to learn, ask questions and hear from your peers (PLUS experience a period pain simulator!). Through engaging discussions and practical tips, you'll gain insights into:

Understanding menstruation: Learn about the biological basics of menstruation and debunk common myths and misconceptions.

Communication strategies: Explore effective ways to initiate conversations about periods (tailored to the age of your child), including how to create a comfortable and open dialogue.

Supporting your daughter or menstruator: Discover ways to offer emotional support and practical assistance during their menstrual cycle, from providing supplies to offering empathy and understanding.

Navigating challenges: Address common concerns and challenges that may arise, such as dealing with embarrassment or cultural taboos.

Building a lasting bond: Explore how discussing menstruation can strengthen the bond between you and your child and foster trust and understanding.

But don't worry, it's not all serious talk. This session will feature a local beer selection and pizza PLUS games (and prizes!), a period-pain simulator and a personalized shopping experience with 10% off everything in the store (with support in purchasing products most appropriate for your child)!

Bring a buddy or come to connect with other dads, share experiences, and relax in a casual atmosphere.
