About this training

Knowing that a client is in perimenopause or menopause is the first step. Knowing what to do next is the harder one. Beyond the Symptoms focuses on clinical intervention: how to build a treatment plan that takes the menopause transition seriously.

Dr. Kimberly Dolan, whose doctoral research focused on menopause and mental health, walks through practical approaches for mood, anxiety, sleep, intimacy and identity in midlife, and how to work alongside medical providers so clients get whole-person care.

Should I take The Menopause Intake first?

It helps. The Menopause Intake covers assessment; Beyond the Symptoms picks up where it leaves off with intervention. Each can also be taken on its own.

When is the next session?

Dates for 2027 are being set now. Join our newsletter and we will email you as soon as registration opens.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Participants who attend the full training receive a certificate of attendance. This training is not currently offered for CE credit; Seasons is in the process of applying for NBCC approval.
