Yes we’re back!! And we have a Monday Moment with .thrive.app!!!
In the Menstrual Bleeding study done by the paediatricians at the IWK, the findings revealed how 37% of adolescents who participated in the study experienced heavy menstrual bleeding.
The findings which we will continue to share during our Monday moments from this study informed the creation of .thrive.app as many teens were experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding but did not know that they were. The app incorporates the findings from the menstrual bleeding study so that teens are never held back from opportunities because of their period.
