It affects many women at some point in their lives, significantly impacting their daily activities and overall quality of life. This comprehensive article will delve into the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for heavy menstrual bleeding, providing valuable insights for those experiencing this condition.

Interference with Daily Activities: The need to double up on sanitary protection to control menstrual flow or to change sanitary products frequently, even at night. Symptoms of Anemia: Fatigue, shortness of breath, and pallor, due to significant blood loss.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management ServicesDate: 30 October 2018 It’s important to keep learning when you’re running a small business but like so many aspects, it is often put on the backburner while we work in our business rather than in it. But many of us don’t realise that further learning is right on our doorstep. Here from Hornsby - Ku-ring-gai Community College we have Inga Rosenberg; who looks after the enrolments for the business courses - and there are many! From Certificates in Business Administration through to MYOB Training, Starting your Own Business courses - and many of them are fully funded. Welcome to the show Inga. As part of Small Business month we like to raise awareness of some of the opportunities the over 14,000 small businesses have in our local government area. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, over 60% of small businesses close within the first three years of operating. The reasons vary but often include that new businesses are not aligned with customer needs, have a poor business model, poor financial management or lack of proper training. As your local Community College, we can play a big role in providing government funded education and training to small business owners and their employees, as well as to job seekers to qualify for personal and business growth, wellbeing and the advancement of community values.

Judy Hopwood was my guest today to discuss Homelessness in the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai community. Judy worked as the former MP for Hornsby and set up the original Homelessness Task Force in Hornsby. Hornsby are pioneers when it comes to delivering outreach which does not make homeless people a collective group and puts the whole issue in the 'too hard basket' but works with people who are homeless as individuals who need tailored support. The Task Force now incorporates Ku-ring-gai and are addressing the growing concern of people looking for assistance in the Gordon area. The issues discussed in this interview are transferable anywhere in the world.
