Frequently Asked Questions

  • PH provides practical, stigma-free menstrual health education to youth ages 8-18. 

  • We teach ages 8 to 18 years old.

  • Menstrual health education is most effective when taught before a child gets their first period. At home, we believe it’s never too early—especially if your child is already asking questions. Girls are getting their period earlier than previous generations, some as early as 9. Our programs begin at age 8 to ensure kids receive accurate, empowering information at least 180 days before menarche.

  • Anyone who has a girl in their life or works with girls ages 8–18! Our workshops are designed for those who want to help girls feel confident, curious, and prepared when it comes to their menstrual health.

  • No — our workshops focus on menstrual health as part of puberty and overall wellbeing, not sexual education. While periods are sometimes included in sex ed classes, we believe menstrual health deserves its own spotlight.

    Our curriculum centers on cycle awareness, hygiene, symptom management, and everyday life skills. In our most advanced level (Level 4), we introduce concepts like the fertile window as part of understanding the menstrual cycle — but this is framed through the lens of body literacy, not sexual activity.

  • Our workshops are for girls ages 8–18 who want to feel confident, prepared, and empowered when it comes to their menstrual health.

    We work with:

    • Schools and educators

    • Dance studios, sports teams, and youth groups

    • Community organizations

    • After-school programs and enrichment providers

    • Anyone looking to host a private group session in their home or community

    Whether it’s a classroom, a soccer team, or a group of best friends—we bring the info, the good vibes, and the tools they need to feel in control and supported.

  • Our workshops are shame-free, stigma-busting, and fun. We create a relaxed, supportive space where talking about periods feels totally normal — because it should be.

    • Open, age-appropriate conversations about menstruation — no awkwardness, no judgment

    • Tips on how to support others or start conversations at home

    Whether you’re new to this or already cycle-savvy, you’ll leave with new insights, language, and self-trust.

  • We like to keep things flexible so that every girl has a chance to learn, ask questions, and feel seen.

  • We come to you!

    Our workshops are held on-site at your location — whether that’s a school, community center, office, summer camp, or private home. All we need is a space where participants can gather comfortably and feel safe to learn and share.

    Let us know what works best for your group, and we’ll bring everything needed to run the session.

  • We recommend booking 2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.

    That said, we know things come up! If you’re working with a shorter timeline, feel free to reach out — we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

  • Yes, we offer virtual sessions upon request for groups unable to host us in person.

    While the in-person experience allows for hands-on materials and deeper connection, our virtual workshops still include interactive discussions, guided activities, and practical education.
    Please note: virtual sessions do not include take-home materials like period kits.

    Let us know your group’s needs, and we’ll help you choose the best format.

  • Menstrual health education isn’t optional — it’s life-changing and essential. For an average of 40 years, menstruators will live with their cycles. Without the right knowledge, they risk painful, confusing, and even dangerous experiences.

    Learning early means knowing when to speak up, how to advocate for yourself, and how to spot warning signs before problems become serious. This education builds confidence, breaks harmful stigma, and lays the foundation for a lifetime of better health and well-being.

    Simply put: no one should navigate menstruation alone or in silence.

  • We go beyond biology. Protect Her teaches stigma-free, relatable, and empowering menstrual health — early and often. Our workshops are led by passionate women with lived experience who focus on real-life tools, confidence-building, and mindset shifts youth can actually use. It’s the education we all wish we’d gotten, delivered in a way that feels natural, fun, and totally normal.
