Migraine Mentors at Work is an educational initiative developed by the National Headache Foundation (NHF) and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, LP . The program is designed to raise awareness of migraine in the workplace and offers people who suffer from migraine encouragement and information on how to manage the illness - a combination that could result in reduced disability for the employee and reduced medical costs for employers and insurers.

Workplace sessions will take place at various corporations across the country. During each session, a physician and patient will speak to a group of employees about:

• Different headache types
• Available treatment options
• Lifestyle modifications to help prevent or to reduce the frequency of migraine onset
• Where to turn for help and relief

Employers that plan a "Migraine Mentors at Work" program are encouraged to evaluate the effects of the seminar, and continue the momentum of the session by providing staff members with educational materials.
