โน๏ธ๐๐น MEN'S HEALTH WEEK 2026 โน๏ธ๐๐น
Menโs Health Week (June 9-15) is a time to pause and reflect on the health challenges facing the men in our lives.
Male life expectancy is, on average, four years shorter and they are more likely to suffer from lifestyle-related health conditions than women of the same age. Sadly, men also have a four times higher risk of dying by su***de.
On top of this, research has revealed that two thirds of men who are struggling or in crisis, donโt feel confident and empowered enough to ask for help. Thatโs why this Menโs Health Week we are encouraging everyone to look out for the signs that a man in their life - a husband, partner, father, brother, colleague, teammate or gym buddy โ is struggling, and to reach out and ask "Are you OK?".
