House of Hormones at SCVO's The Gathering

Debuted at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival this informative and engaging event raises awareness of a time that can be emotionally intense and challenging for the whole family, often marked by heightened emotions, misunderstandings, stress and conflict.

What happens when puberty and perimenopause clash? You’ve entered the House of Hormones! Perhaps the science of conflict can help explain – and restore some calm. Join Parenting Across Scotland and Cyrenians Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution as they delve into the issues households can face when generations within a family enter their change of life at the same time. Joined by Lyndsay Harrison, General Nurse Practitioner and founder of Workplace Menopause Support, we’ll break down what’s going on in perimenopausal and teenage bodies and brains – and how to return the House of Hormones to peace.

We'll offer practical advice and guidance for families experiencing this dual transition. Our goal is to start conversations, reduce friction, and help households better understand and support one another through this often-overlooked dynamic. From communication strategies to emotional wellbeing tips, the event is designed to be a compassionate, informative space for learning and connection.
