On average, around one in five men are dying between the ages 16 and 65, and more than two in five before the age of 75 – because of health issues that are often preventable or treatable.
Men’s Health Week 2020 is an opportunity for us all to change that statistic, by making sure all men feel confident and comfortable in finding help with issues like heart disease, weight difficulties and mental health and stress challenges.
We’re sharing advice on how you can find support, and what to do if you’re concerned about someone else.
Men’s Health Forum
You can find more support from men’s health forum website, including guides and video on both mental health support (anxiety, depression, stress) and physical health (testicular cancer, heart disease, hair loss)
