  • Women are about 2 times more likely than men to be diagnosed with major depression in their lifetime, as well as to experience anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.

  • Women are about 2–3 times more likely to develop PTSD, even though men are more likely to experience traumatic events overall.

  • Suicide and psychiatric admissions linked with menstrual cycle phases: meta-analysis found the risk of suicide death was 26% higher and psychiatric admissions 20% higher during menstruation; premenstrual phases carried elevated psychiatric admission risk as well

  • Research suggests that around 70% of women aged 45-plus may experience neurological or psychiatric symptoms — including mood swings, anxiety, or depression — during perimenopause.

  • Studies have found that up to 30-50% of women report mood swings and increased irritability during menopause, and anxiety worsens for 40-45%. Some research also reports that up to 20% of women experience depressive symptoms during menopause.

Thank you for partnering with us.

You're doing some really wonderful things; in the last year (on average) we increased the emotional literacy of young people in Schools by 13% and, across the GP & NHS partnerships we have, made increases by 7% in under 10's, 18% for adolescents and 11% for adults.

For context, a meaningful increase for adults is 10%, and for children who are still developing this literacy, a meaningful increase is 5%.  On average, we see people within 4 days of their referral to us.

Dynamic

You are a part of bridging the gap in mental health services and crucial in reshaping the support available, with real and tangible benefits across our communities.

We use no-nonsense terms and language to be accessible and inclusive to all of our clients.


Compassionate

We demonstrate empathy and consideration to our clients and their circumstances, completely free of judgement.
