Raine, Kat, and Tina join the critically-acclaimed podcast CRAMPED for a conversation about how young people are experiencing period pain — and why schools so often fail to take it seriously. In this episode of CRAMPED, “Are the Young Crampers OK? Period Pain Education in High School,” host Kate Helen Downey spotlights Period Power Stories, TMI Project’s collaboration with the Kingston High School Period Power Club – and the student-led push for better education, support, and change.
