Are you a school ready to take action for the 1 to 2 out of 10 girls among your students who live with endometriosis?
Schools have a key role to play in the virtuous cycle of endometriosis awareness and in helping reduce the diagnostic delay, which still ranges from 7 to 12 years on average. By offering interactive educational awareness sessions within schools and providing students with accessible educational materials and information brochures, schools can help young people better recognize symptoms and seek help earlier.
This is exactly where Laura comes in, supporting schools in bringing meaningful endometriosis awareness directly into their educational environment.
What can Laura provide to your School for your students?
By informing students earlier, schools can help young people better recognize symptoms, speak about them without stigma, and seek appropriate care sooner.
Laura brings this awareness directly into schools through
interactive and educational sessions
designed specifically for students.
Through her work with Toi Mon Endo in Belgium, Laura has more than five years of experience leading awareness workshops in educational institutions, working with students aged 14 to 25 (through these initiatives, more than 15,000 students have already been reached across over 80 educational institutions).
She has completed several training programs in facilitation and educational engagement techniques, allowing her to deliver sessions that are both informative and engaging. The workshops include age-adapted games, interactive activities, and educational tools designed to make it easier to talk about endometriosis in a safe and accessible way.
Endometriosis is not discussed in the same way with 14-year-old teenagers as it is with 18-year-olds or young adults in their early twenties. Laura does not come to share a personal testimony, she delivers structured awareness sessions adapted to each age group. Her approach focuses on explaining the disease in a clear, accessible, and simplified way, while encouraging students to better understand their bodies.
How does Laura raise awareness in schools?
The key message is simple and positive: if someone recognizes themselves in the symptoms discussed, it is not something to fear, it is an opportunity to act for their health, seek help earlier, and find solutions to live better. The goal is always to inform and empower, never to dramatize.
Sessions can be adapted to different age groups, time slots, and school formats, making them flexible and easy to integrate into school programs.
The format can be adapted but the objective always remains the same: to raise awareness about endometriosis and contribute to reducing the diagnostic delay.
