The Debbie Gaunt Foundation marked a major milestone on November 21 with a successful inaugural event for health professionals the Central Coast – Perimenopause Uncovered.
Held at The Olive Grove in Forresters Beach, the event brought together more than 80 local practitioners, including doctors, mental health professionals, exercise physiologists and allied health specialists, to explore the diverse impacts of perimenopause on women’s health.
Perimenopause Uncovered was hosted by Dr Shauna Watts, a Coast-based GP with a special interest in women’s health.
She was joined onstage by four expert clinicians who shared their specialised knowledge and practical advice, covering the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that come with perimenopause.
The evening was rounded out with a lively Q & A session covering the best ways to support clients and patients navigating perimenopause.
One of the key outcomes of the evening was a commitment to a Directory of Local Practitioners on the Debbie Gaunt Foundation (DGF) website.
This resource will connect women with trusted professionals in the region who are keen to provide perimenopause support.
“We’re thrilled by the positive response to this event,” DGF founder Craig Gaunt said.
“Bringing local health professionals together represents a big step in raising awareness and starting real conversations about perimenopause here on the Central Coast; we’re excited to keep building on this momentum.”
The Debbie Gaunt Foundation is committed to supporting women’s health through education and advocacy.
