The Milford Arts Council will host a screening of The (M) Factor 2, a film exploring perimenopause symptoms, solutions and real women’s stories, with a expert discussion afterward on Thursday, March 26 at 40 Railroad Ave. South in Milford.
The film follows the original, The (M) Factor, which covered menopause, and continues the conversation about women’s hormones, health and the changes that shape this stage of life. The film looks at how perimenopause affects your heart, bone, brain and sexual health, and solutions helping women thrive through it.
There will be a Q&A afterward with Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a Yale physician and Menopause Society certified practitioner, who is featured in the film.
Local artist Shanna T. Milton will perform a poetry piece celebrating women.
Mermaid Books will be on-site with recommended titles, and attendees can sign up for a future book discussion group and talk. These will be designed as safe, supportive spaces for females to learn and share experiences.
There will be a perimenopause/menopause book discussion group with Dr. Abisola Afolalu, Menopause Society certified practitioner and a talk for middle school girls regarding body image with Diane Frankel-Gramelis, a Yale Health educator. More details will follow at the event.
