For years they were told the bleeding was normal. It wasn't.

Dismissed follows women and girls with bleeding disorders through what it takes to be believed. The delayed diagnoses. The appointments where nothing was found. The years of being told this is just how periods are.

If you've lived that, you'll recognize it. If you love someone who has, you'll understand it better than you did before.

After the film, Isabelle Capsel and Kim Hernandez — two of the women featured in it — join us live for a candid conversation and open audience Q&A.

What to expect

8:00 — Welcome
8:05 — Film (40 minutes)
8:45 — Live conversation and Q&A with Isabelle and Kim

About 90 minutes total. Hosted on Zoom. Your camera and microphone stay off the whole time, so you can watch privately.

Who this is for

Open to everyone. You don't need a diagnosis to attend.

If you've been told your bleeding is normal and you're not sure it is, this is for you. If you're a parent wondering about your daughter, this is for you. Partners, husbands, and fathers: the women in your life have been navigating this for years, and this is a good way to understand it. Providers and advocates are welcome too.

Register

Attend live and you'll be entered to win one of ten $25 Amazon gift cards, drawn at the end of the Q&A.
