The #OkresNoStres program aims to support girls going through their first menstruation. The program, aimed at female students in grades 4, not only educates about menstruation, but also draws attention to the psychological aspects associated with the experience. It is designed to help minimize stress and provide girls with support both at school and at home. The program offers free educational and hygiene materials for schools, including family education lesson plans, packets for female students, and informational posters and flyers for parents. The author of the materials is psychologist Tosia Kopyt, a specialist in menstruation education.
First menstruation often causes stress and confusion for girls, due to lack of preparation and insufficient knowledge. Research conducted by SW Research on behalf of the Bella brand shows that as many as 92% of women felt strong emotions such as stress (41%) and surprise (34%) during their first period. Not knowing how to cope causes additional confusion. Although girls can count on the help of their parents, especially their mothers, they are often left alone at school with the problem, which exacerbates their fears.
