LUNAVA – Because no woman should face menopause alone

💛 Menopause is one of the most biologically intense transitions in a woman’s life — yet it is one of the least supported.

Millions of women suffer in silence with insomnia, anxiety, depression, and brain fog, often while raising families, working full-time, or caring for aging parents.

In Latin America, access to psychological support during menopause is almost nonexistent, especially for low-income women.

This program ensures that women do not have to navigate this stage alone.

👩🏽‍🦳 Who Will Benefit

Primary beneficiaries:

• Women aged ~40–60 in peri-, meno-, and post-menopause
• Especially low- and middle-income women
• Women with untreated anxiety, depressive symptoms, or sleep disturbances

Secondary beneficiaries:

• Children (improved maternal mental health)
• Partners and families
• Workplaces (reduced absenteeism, improved productivity)
• Health systems (reduced long-term burden of untreated mental health issues)

In Latin America:

• Mental health access is limited.
• Hormone therapy is not accessible to many.
• Menopause is still stigmatized and under-discussed.

This intervention fills a massive care gap.
