Men's Health Week (MHW) always begins on the Monday before Father's Day and ends on Father's Day itself. This year it ran from Monday 14th June until Sunday 20th June 2010.
It is celebrated in most European countries, as well as a number of other places. The overall aims of MHW are to:
Each year, there is also a focus upon a specific theme. The theme for this year was Men and Physical Activity. During this week, the Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) called upon all men and boys on our island to answer the challenge to: "Get Up. Get Out. Get Going!"

One of the biggest risks to men’s health is their reluctance to seek help at times of difficulty or to take part in health improvement programmes. This is often because these services and programmes are not delivered in ways that take account of men’s particular needs.
MHW gives everyone (health professionals, service providers, sporting bodies, community groups, employers, policy makers, the media, individuals ...) an opportunity to encourage men and boys to take better care of their health and to seek help or treatment at an early stage.
The Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) coordinates activity on the island of Ireland and cooperates with other Men's Health Fora across Europe, and further afield, to mark this week.
