  a natural event that every woman who reaches the middle-age stage of life
  will experience\, it is often accompanied by adverse physical (e.g.\, vas
 omotor symptoms\, sleep difficulties\, sexual concerns) and emotional (e.g
 .\, anxiety\, depression) changes that significantly impact functioning an
 d overall quality of life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is emerging
  as an effective nonpharmacological treatment for menopausal symptoms as e
 ither a complementary or alternative form of treatment. During this presen
 tation\, the most common menopausal symptoms will be reviewed along with t
 he cognitive and behavioural strategies that have been tailored to meet th
 e unique needs of women during this transition.\n\nAgenda:\n\n9:15-10:00 a
