The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause [Perimenopause]

A powerful perimenopause documentary and live panel sparking real conversation about women’s health.

About This Event

Documentary screening + live conversation on the mental and relational impact of perimenopause.

Perimenopause affects millions of women — yet it remains widely misunderstood, under-discussed, and often dismissed.

Join us for a special community screening of The (M) Factor 2: Before the Pause [Perimenopause], a powerful documentary exploring the biological, psychological, and social realities of hormonal transition.

Menopause is not simply a physical event. It is a bio-psycho-social transition with profound implications for women’s mental health, careers, relationships, and identity — and too often, women are left navigating it alone.
