What is a Menstrual Health Counseling and what is its objective?
It is a meeting that seeks guidance and help in biopsychosocial menstrual health.
It is an intervention that takes place in a personalized context, where a link is established between a facilitator trained in menstrual health (counselor) and a woman or family that presents a need in this area.
