PPEP Talk

On Friday of Week 5, Year 9 and Year 10 students engaged with a PPEP Talk [Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Program] from Nicola from the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia.

Based on the feedback, 100% of students said they found PPEP Talk® informative and 100% of students said that PPEP Talk® taught them things about the human body they didn’t already know. 

Students reflected:

“This was great, I feel a lot better about how to manage my pain, thank you for coming.”

“It was very informative and enjoyable. I took good notes to help me out. Thanks so much for teaching us!”

“The presenter was nice and funny. I learnt a lot. Thank you!”

If the session raised some further questions, the next step could be to sign up for a FREE online session.  This is designed for students who have identified a more complex pain concern or would like their caregivers to understand more. Students attend with a caregiver, and there is a chance to ask questions of our Gynaecologist and Pain Specialist, Associate Professor Susan Evans. Students can register for upcoming sessions here https://www.pelvicpain.org.au/ppep-talk-schools-program/ppep-talk-next-steps/
