Historically, women have not received adequate attention for the spectrum of bleeding disorders they live with.
Over the past few years, Hemophilia Ontario has recognized the need to see women be made a priority within the bleeding disorder community, and the Women with Bleeding Disorders Program was formed.
Thanks to its popularity in 2020, our educational speaker-based web series is back and here to stay.
Hosted again by Natalie Philbert and Amy Griffith, this year, we’ll focus on women’s overall wellness in both a 5-part web series and in-person summer event.

Starting your period is a transition that many feel uncertain of, particularly those with a bleeding disorder.

at The Hospital for Sick Children will join us to discuss how to prepare for a first period and what to expect.
Community members Amy Griffith and her mother Maureen Griffith will also provide a dual caregiver/child perspective
of an experience with a first period.
