Make the Connections - Men’s Health Week 2021
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 14th until Sunday 20th June 2021.
Since the start of January 2021, an all-island Planning Group for MHW (convened by the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland) has been meeting and corresponding to finalise the theme and develop resources for the week. A lot has been achieved.
This year, MHW on the island of Ireland will focus upon ‘making the connections’ and the call to action will be:
- -Â CHECK IN with yourself to see how you are coping / feeling, and to identify any health worries that you might have.
- - CHECK UP on your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues to see how they’re doing and to offer support.
- -Â If you notice anything worrying or which needs attention, CHECK IT OUT and seek information / help / support / treatment.
Make sure that you have the dates in your diary and are thinking about how you might do something to mark this week. It’s never too early to start planning. Have a look at what took place last year to give you an idea of what is possible: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-2020.html
