Period Education Project


  • Mission

    Period Education Project equips future physicians through education and hands-on experience leading menstrual health workshops, to initiate informed, judgment-free discussions about menstrual health, empowering women and girls with medically accurate information to better understand their bodies and advocate for their health through every stage of life.

    About Us

    The Period Education Project is a 501(c)(3) physician-led organization that works to improve access to menstrual health education. When youth understand menstrual health, they are prepared to advocate for their own health and recognize troubling health conditions, leading to earlier treatment and better outcomes. Providing young people with this essential health care education can have a lasting impact on improving girls’ and women’s health.
