Time to talk: Period

This booklet has been developed by the EAHAD Women and Girls+ with Bleeding Disorders (WG+BD) Working Group as an informational resource for girls who have just started or are about to start their periods. It offers insights that may feel new or familiar, both entirely normal. It also serves as a helpful resource for family members to understand these experiences better. While the booklet primarily addresses women and girls, it is inclusive of all individuals with the ability to menstruate, ensuring they are part of the conversation.

European principles of care for women and girls with inherited bleeding disorders

The European Principles of Care for Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders are now available in five languages! One of the most important goals of our Women and Bleeding Disorders Working Group is to make sure that everyone has access to the knowledge and information shared with our community.
