Men’s Health Week raises awareness around the physical and mental health challenges that affect men and boys. It’s a great chance to encourage open conversations, promote healthy habits, and support staff wellbeing in a way that’s inclusive and gender-aware — particularly in environments where staff may not often speak openly about health concerns.
