Last week, the Globe and Mail published an opinion piece on infertility, including quotes from our director, Dr. Jennifer Gordon. We are grateful for the media coverage and hope it helps destigmatize this shared experience. https://t.co/cc8pjzjkXR

Today is a day for celebrating women, girls, and gender-expansive people who fight for gender equity. We are grateful for how far we’ve come, but much more must be done to advance human rights!

Take a pause during #WorldMenopauseDay to discover the under-explored field of #menopause research with @RMHResearchUnit director and @UofRArts associate professor Dr. Jennifer Gordon, a leading voice in the study of #perimenopausal depression.

Correction: Our current project is an observational longitudinal study, not a trial!

[Reproductive Mental Health Research Unit @RMHResearchUnit]

It's #WorldMenopauseDay! One of our recent studies found that 39% of the perimenopausal experienced negative changes to their mood when their estrogen levels changed. We are now conducting a trial to examine this further, and thank our participants! #reproductivementalhealth

Ashley has been a grad student with Dr. Gordon since 2018 and is an SSHRC doctoral fellow. Her research has focused on interventions for women experiencing infertility and the influence of infertility on sexual function. We will miss seeing her in the lab this year!

[Reproductive Mental Health Research Unit @RMHResearchUnit]

Our research has been focused on two areas of reproductive health that can negatively impact mental and sexual health: infertility and perimenopause.
We hope to increase awareness, help people cope and improve their well-being. #worldsexualhealthday #WSHD2023

Congrats to our recent honours student, Anas, for being accepted into med school at the U of S! In his thesis, he explored intentions to conceive and mental health of female clinical psych doctoral students. He hopes to apply what he learned to the work he does in the future.

[Reproductive Mental Health Research Unit @RMHResearchUnit]

We had a blast presenting our research at the @CPA_SCP convention in Toronto!
Congrats to @strangesonia, who won a student travel bursary award, and @AshleyBalsom, for winning awards for her poster presentation and paper! #cpa2023
