The resolution designates October 11 of each year as Perimenopause Day in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about the perimenopause stage of women's health. Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, typically starting eight to ten years prior, characterized by hormonal changes that can result in various symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Many women may not recognize these symptoms as related to perimenopause, often attributing them to aging or stress, which can delay appropriate medical treatment.

By establishing Perimenopause Day, the resolution seeks to support women experiencing this natural transition, educate the public about its signs and symptoms, and combat the stigma and misinformation surrounding perimenopause. The Governor of New Jersey is encouraged to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day, prompting public officials and residents to engage in activities and programs that promote understanding and support for women navigating perimenopause.
