National Men’s Health Week 2016 – Monday 13th June to Sunday 19th June

National Men’s Health Week 2016 – Monday 13th June to Sunday 19th June:
To: All Branches
Dear Colleagues,
The Men’s Health Forum, an independent body founded by The Royal College of Nursing in 1994, has confirmed that National Men’s Health Week 2016 will run from Monday 13th June to Sunday 19th June and this year’s theme is Beat Stress.
We all get stressed. The question is: what do you do about it?
This is the theme of Men’s Health Week 2016.
It matters because if we don’t release stress, it can turn into something more serious.
There are many things we can do to beat stress: exercise, sing, dance, laugh, play or listen to music, paint, write, volunteer, learn something new and lots more.
The Men’s Health Forum’s message to men is: talk about how you beat stress, talk about what causes it. Talk to your mates, talk to your family. And if you want to talk to a professional try the Men’s Health Forum’s new Beat Stress service – free text chat with experts trained in beating stress, no names, no hassle. They will be launching the service during the week.
There’s still time to take part in Men’s Health Week. Sign up online to access the resource pack and keep up to date with the week at https://www.menshealthforum.org.uk/mhw. The resource pack for the week is available to those who have signed up for the week and it contains posters, graphics and briefings to help you with the week.
If there’s anything else that you need now or during the week, please don’t hesitate to contact the Men’s Health Forum via their email https://www.menshealthforum.org.uk/contact.
Yours sincerely

Dave Joyce

National Health, Safety & Environment Officer
