MHW 2013 - A Date for Your Diary

It seems like only yesterday when we were all hyped-up for Men’s Health Week 2012, and now the next one is just around the corner ...  International Men's Health Week (MHW) always begins on the Monday before Father's Day and ends on Father's Day itself. 

This coming year, it will run from Monday 10th until Sunday 16th June 2013.  It is celebrated in most European countries, as well as in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and a number of other places worldwide.  The 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 / activities; encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males. 

Why not put these dates into your diary, and start thinking about how your group could mark this week?  More details about the theme, and how to get involved, will follow in the New Year.Â
