Driving Change | Evidence-based knowledge  | Interdisciplinary Care

This certificate filled in all the gaps I didn’t even realize were missing in my training. I now feel equipped to support my midlife patients with confidence and empathy.
Dr. Aisha Williams, Family Medicine Physician
Finally, a program that speaks to both science and practice. The tools are incredible, and the expert-led sessions are exactly what I needed to better serve my clients.
Jessica Moreno, Registered Dietitian & Health Coach
The course was excellent with scholarly providers from various disciplines within the field of perimenopause/menopause.
I received a robust course that helped me fill in gaps in my knowledge and understanding of the literature on perimenopause. I actually could NOT think of any disciplines or issues that were not covered that might otherwise have been important. I'm very grateful that Perry had the brilliant idea to plan this course and that I had the opportunity to participate. 
Aviva Gaskill, PhD Clinical Psychologist 
Perry Academy deepened my understanding of how hormonal changes and perimenopause impact mental health and relationships, with a strong focus on trauma informed and culturally competent care.
I now feel more equipped to support and empower clients from diverse backgrounds through this transition with greater sensitivity and practical tools.
