Menopause Awareness Week
Every woman deserves to navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence.
During the 2025 legislative session, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor and Illinois Council on Women and Girls worked with the General Assembly to pass a resolution declaring October 12-18, 2025 as the first Illinois Menopause Awareness Week.
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Women Employed, and UI Health hosted a series of conversations throughout the week with menopause experts to discuss managing symptoms, treatment options, advocating for yourself in the workplace, and more.
