The content is developed in collaboration with Wellbeing of Women, a UK charity dedicated to funding research, education and advocacy across women's reproductive and gynaecological health. The information provided in the modules is carefully curated and reviewed by Wellbeing of Women and their associated healthcare professionals to ensure accuracy and reliability. The scientific foundation of the training modules ensures that the information shared is evidence-based and up to date, allowing beneficiaries to gain a comprehensive understanding of hormonal changes and their impact on women's wellbeing.

Who wrote and designed the Hormonall training modules?

Yes, the Hormonall e-learnings may include visual representations or illustrations to help individuals better understand how women's body’s function and the changes that occur during different stages of life. It's important to note that the focus of the modules is on providing educational content and promoting understanding rather than explicit or graphic depictions. The visual representations are intended to support learning and facilitate a clearer understanding of the topics discussed.

Does the training show visual representations and illustrations to help understand how our bodies evolve at different life stages?

The training modules are designed to be accessible to everyone interested in learning about hormonal wellbeing. However, we advise that children under the age of 16 should access the content under parental guidance to ensure that the information is understood within an appropriate context and to provide support for any questions they may have.

I’m a parent of a teenager, can I give them access to the module to do on their own?

Hormonall provides information and support for anyone experiencing hormonal changes. While the terms ‘girl’ and ‘woman’ are used on the website, it is important to recognise that people of all genders may experience the hormonal changes described. Hormonall aims to be inclusive and acknowledges that knowledge and advice provided can be relevant to non-binary, transitioning and transgender individuals and those not identifying as women but who may still go through similar hormonal changes. For more personalised information, it is recommended to refer to your GP or healthcare professional.

Does Hormonall include information for people experiencing menstruations that do not identify as female?

Hormonall is focused on women's hormonal wellbeing because historically there has been a gap in awareness, support, and research regarding the complex hormonal changes that women experience. This initiative aims to address this gap by providing education and resources specifically tailored to support the needs of women experiencing the impact of hormonal changes. While men also have hormonal wellbeing concerns, Hormonall's mission is to concentrate efforts where there is the most pressing need for support and understanding, which has been identified as women's hormonal wellbeing.

Why does Hormonall focus only on women's hormonal wellbeing and not men's hormonal wellbeing as well?

No, you do not need to provide any personal data such as your email or name to access the Hormonall modules. The modules are designed to be easily accessible and user-friendly. Additionally, the modules are completely free of charge. The focus is on providing accessible and helpful information to all individuals, without any barriers or requirements for personal data or payment. So, feel free to explore the modules and empower yourself with knowledge about hormonal changes at your own convenience.

Do I need to provide any personal data (email, name, etc.) or pay to access the modules?

No, Hormonall provides generalised information about hormonal changes during different life stages. For guidance related to specific health conditions, please consult with your GP or healthcare provider who can provide tailored recommendations based on your individual health needs.

Does Hormonall provide guidance on managing hormonal changes related to specific health conditions?

No, the training modules in the Hormonall movement primarily focus on providing information and support about hormonal changes experienced at different stages of life. However, it's important to note that Hormonall aims to empower women and promote overall wellbeing. This includes addressing topics related to sexual health such as vaginal dryness in the menopause module. Speak to your GP or healthcare provider if you have any specific questions or concerns about your sexuality or sexual health.

Do the Hormonall training modules include discussions about sexuality and sexual orientation?

Yes, you can share the resources from the training with your healthcare provider. The e-learning modules aim to provide trustworthy information about hormonal changes, and sharing these resources can help facilitate a better understanding and discussion with your healthcare provider about your specific needs and concerns related to hormonal wellbeing.

Can I share the resources from the Hormonall training with my healthcare provider?

Everyone’s experience with hormonal contraception or hormonal therapy is different and treatment solutions are specific to each individual. When it comes to hormonal contraception or therapy, it is crucial to consult with your GP or healthcare provider who can provide personalised advice based on your individual circumstances. They have the necessary expertise and access to the latest research and medical guidelines to guide you in managing your condition or exploring treatment options.
