Family planning  and menstrual health are closely related fields that are often not effectively integrated, which can result in missed opportunities to improve the health, well-being, and dignity of individuals. Integrating family planning and menstrual health could help address challenges of stigma, misinformation, and navigating complex social and gender norms and increase the reach and impact of both fields. Recent work through the Contraceptive-Induced Menstrual Changes Community of Practice has brought together experts from the two fields. In breaking down silos, a growing interest in this topic of integration has emerged and experts agree that greater efforts should be made to proactively link family planning and menstrual health policies and programs including through provider training and capacity strengthening, community and school-based education and outreach, service provision, and program evaluation.

This webinar, organized by the Knowledge SUCCESS project in collaboration with FHI 360 and the Contraceptive-Induced Menstrual Changes Community of Practice, will highlight the linkages between the fields of family planning and menstrual health and take participants through recently published programmatic guidelines for family planning-menstrual health integration.
