MEN’S HEALTH WEEK 2020 #MensHealthWeek

 

Men’s Health Week 2020 runs between 15 and 21 June. It’s a time to raise awareness regarding the health issues affecting men and boys today. It’s also about encouraging early detection and treatment of disease.

Men’s Health Week aims to help men develop a greater understanding of the health problems they may face in life as well as gaining the courage to do something about it.

It is also an opportunity to celebrate the great work being done across Australia to improve the health of men and boys.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR MEN’S HEALTH

Promoting and improving the health of men and boys and preventing male suicide is not just men’s business. This year’s theme is Working Together for Men’s Health.

It highlights the need for everyone in the community  (not just men) to collaborate and work together to achieve  real progress.
