Event description

Why does perimenopause feel different for the ADHD brain? 🧠✨

Menopause is often framed as something that happens in our 50s. But for many, perimenopause begins in the 30s or early 40s—and for those with ADHD, these hormonal shifts can feel like a total system overload.

When oestrogen fluctuates, it directly impacts dopamine. The result? Focus, emotional regulation, memory, and energy can take a massive hit, often leaving people feeling misunderstood, mislabelled, or entirely overwhelmed.

In fact, 1 in 10 women leave their jobs due to a lack of support during this stage. For Neurodivergent individuals, that risk can be even higher.

It’s time to change the conversation. Hormonal change is not a decline; it’s a transition.

Join nurse, educator, and coach Elli Bliss for an evidence-based, compassionate, and ADHD-informed look at perimenopause and menopause.

What we’ll explore:

  • The Brain Chemistry: Exactly what happens to ADHD symptoms when hormones shift.

  • The Workplace Impact: Why tasks feel harder and how to advocate for your needs.

  • Practical Strategies: Evidence-based, trauma-informed tools that honour both hormonal and neurodivergent needs.

Whether you are navigating this yourself or supporting a colleague, partner, or friend, this session offers the language, validation, and clarity you deserve.


📅 When: Wednesday, 24th June

Time: 18:30 – 20:30

📍 Location: The Greenhouse XSUK, Hereford Street, Bedminster, Bristol, BS3 4NA
