Countdown to Men’s Health Week 2017 has begun

We’re nearly there.  The clock is ticking ...  it won’t be long now until International Men's Health Week (MHW).  This year, it will run from Monday 12th until Sunday 18th June 2017.  The theme in Ireland will focus upon: ‘It’s all about HIM’.  The starting point for this year’s conversation about improving the health of males is to answer the question ‘how are you doing?’...  If the answer is ‘not very well’, then it might be time to think about doing something that will make a positive difference to the health of the men and boys that you have contact with and influence over.  MHW 2017 offers a launch pad to do this.

As always, the overarching aims of MHW are to:

• Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages.
• Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices and activities.
• Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males.

However, any events, activities and actions to mark this occasion are very welcome.
