📣 Pilot Program: Teach Endo Now is currently testing with a handful of Bay Area schools before we launch nationwide in early 2027. Thank you for helping us get this right from the start.
Teach Endo Now · Piloting in the Bay Area · Nationwide in 2027

Give a school nurse
the resources to catch it early.

Endometriosis often starts in the teenage years — but it takes years, sometimes a decade, for most people to get a diagnosis. Teach Endo Now puts plain-language brochures and fact sheets directly into school nurse's offices, so a student in pain has somewhere to turn the moment they ask for help. We're piloting with a handful of schools in the Bay Area now, with a national launch planned for early 2027.

1 in 5
people with female reproductive organs are affected by endometriosis.
7–12 yrs
is the average time from first symptoms to an accurate diagnosis.
70%
of patients report symptoms starting before age 20 — 40% before age 15.
72%
of teens with treatment-resistant chronic pelvic pain are later found to have endometriosis.
“Severe period pain is the leading cause of school absences in girls.”

Most people aren't diagnosed as teenagers — even though that's often when it starts.

Painful periods get written off as "normal." Students don't always have the words to describe what they're feeling, and a lot of school nurses have never had a reason to think of endometriosis as something to look for in a middle or high schooler — even though pre-teens and teenagers are not too young to have it, and it can start before a student's first period. Teach Endo Now closes that gap with something simple: put good information where a student already goes when something's wrong.

How the pilot works

We're starting small and intentional — one sponsored school at a time.

1

You sponsor a school

$15 covers everything it takes to reach one school's nurse's office — give more to sponsor several schools at once, or choose your own amount.

2

We send the package

Brochures, fact sheets, and a personalized letter explaining the program go out directly to that school.

3

A student finds it when they need it

The materials sit in the nurse's office, ready for any student who walks in describing symptoms no one's explained to them before.
