Education & Workplace Support

Creating supportive schools, workplaces, and communities

Living with endometriosis can make attending school, university, training, or work incredibly challenging. Pain, fatigue, unpredictable flare-ups, medical appointments, and surgery can all affect attendance, concentration, productivity, and wellbeing.

At Endo Warriors Aotearoa, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and their education or career.

We work alongside individuals, schools, workplaces, tertiary providers, and community organisations to improve understanding, reduce stigma, and create environments where people living with endometriosis feel supported, respected, and able to thrive.

We provide practical guidance to help people advocate for their needs at school, tertiary study, training, or work.

We can assist with:

  • Workplace accommodation and support letters

  • School, college, and tertiary support letters

  • Guidance around flexible learning or working arrangements

  • Preparing for conversations with teachers, lecturers, managers, or employers

  • Returning to study or work after surgery

  • Managing study or employment alongside chronic pain and fatigue

Support is tailored to your individual situation, goals, and needs.

Email us with some information about the support you need.

Education for Schools, Workplaces, and Organisations

We deliver tailored education sessions to help schools, workplaces, tertiary providers, and community organisations better understand endometriosis, menstrual health, chronic pain, and fatigue.

  • Schools and teaching staff

  • Human Resources teams

Advocacy and Support Letters

Sometimes formal documentation can help people access the support they need.

Where appropriate, we can provide personalised support letters for:

  • Schools

  • Universities and tertiary providers

  • Employers

  • Healthcare providers

  • WINZ and other agencies

These letters help explain the impact endometriosis may have on education, employment, attendance, and daily life while supporting conversations around reasonable adjustments and individual needs.

Email us to request a support letter.

Why This Matters

Many people living with endometriosis experience years of symptoms before receiving a diagnosis. During this time, they may struggle with attendance, concentration, pain, fatigue, and the emotional impact of living with a chronic condition.

Greater awareness and understanding can make a significant difference. By educating schools, workplaces, and organisations, we can reduce stigma, improve inclusion, and help people living with endometriosis feel supported to participate fully in education, employment, and community life.
