Menopause and midlife health are often left out of public conversations, especially for women of color, LGBTQIA+, and others historically underrepresented in health care. Power of the Pause is about reclaiming this phase of life and making space for celebration, community, and education.
This is more than a community health event. It's a celebration of YOU!
Whether you're going through it yourself, supporting a loved one, or working toward better health outcomes, this day is for you.
Here's What to Expect:
+Engagement with health care providers
+Self-care and connection spaces
+Vendor & resource tables
+Light bites & refreshments
+Music, dancing & fun!
*This event is part of the UConn Health Disparities Institute's (HDI) yearlong Menopause Equity Initiative (2025–2026). UConn HDI is a proud member of the Menopause Equity Collective, whose mission is dedicated to advancing menopause equity and improving the health of midlife women in Connecticut.
**Power of the Pause is a brave and welcoming space. We honor all bodies, identities, and experiences. Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.
*** This event is open to all ages. However, the content is primarily geared toward adults and individuals navigating or supporting menopause and midlife health. Please note: The Power of Pause Menopause Equity Event will be presented in English.
