The ‘Menstrual equity 101/Equité menstruelle 101’ (ME101) program, consists of a live 90-minute virtual workshop, and access to three self-paced courses hosted on an innovative digital learning hub called CHARMS. This program has been designed for and implemented among youth service providers (such as teachers, counsellors, sexual health educators, peer educators, coaches etc.) in Canada.
The ME101 program is designed to address menstrual stigma and period poverty involves an 'upstream approach', empowering individuals who engage with youth to incorporate menstrual equity into their everyday work. The education program integrates a live workshop and a self-paced course component, ensuring that our programming establishes a strong foundation while remaining adaptable for continued learning.
This program has been funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada, and delivered in partnership with Food Banks Canada.
