This week aims to raise awareness of health issues – both physical and mental – that affect men and to help men to be be more aware of health problems they may have, or could develop, and to encourage them to talk about these and to seek help when they need it.

A particular theme this year is Men’s mental health and especially in relation to the pandemic. Even without Covid restrictions, many men feel unable to speak about their mental health so this week is a reminder that if you are struggling it’s ok to talk.
