The Missoula Menopause Initiative is a group of educators, healthcare providers, and advocates who came together earlier this year to explore how to provide better resources for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. The initiative is offering a free screening of "The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause" at the Roxy Theater on April 30 at 7pm to launch a wider conversation and build community around this shared experience.

Please visit the Roxy website at link in bio to get your free ticket. Missoula Aging Services is sponsoring the film along with Missoula Pharmacy Inc.; Dr. Leah Miller, MD; Dr. Janice Givler, MD; The Menopause Midwife; Alpine Physical Therapy; Jamie Lynn Wellness; All Nations Health Center; and Minuteman Press.

Event will include comedy and commentary from emcee Rosie Seitz Ayers, Arts Missoula’s 2025 Arts Educator of the Year.
