Awareness & Education
Awareness and education are the cornerstones of improving understanding and support from the wider community, and for empowering people affected by endometriosis to advocate for themselves.
Generating awareness and facilitating the education of endometriosis is essential to reduce diagnostic delay, remove stigma, and improve the short-term and long-term physical, emotional and social outcomes of people living with endometriosis.
At EndometriosisWA, we are committed to providing quality, up-to-date, evidence-based information to people affected by endometriosis, including their family and carers. EndometriosisWA raises awareness and facilitates education via social media campaigns, presence at public events, and private member-based events. We run bi-monthly educational and supportive events for our members, which are often recorded and uploaded to our Youtube Channel.
EndometriosisWA collaborated with the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia and GAIN Inc. to bring the Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Program (PPEP-Talk) to Western Australia. This program is supported by the Federal Government and WA State Government and aims to educate high school students on period pain, pelvic pain, endometriosis, and the new neuroscience of pain.
