Today is International Men's Day where awareness is brought to a wide range of men's health and mental health issues. International Men's Day UKprovides a platform to focus on the wellbeing of men and boys, support charities and hold a positive conversation around men's health and mental health.'Movember'takes place every November, to raise awareness and funds for men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. With the very worrying continuing increase in male suicide (4,188 male suicides in England 2023), statistics showing 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed prostate cancer in their lifetime and diagnosis of testicular cancer increasing, it is crucial that we continue to raise the platform of men's health and mental health topics to provide essential knowledge and safe spaces to talk more about these issues. The better understanding individuals have of the risks, signs and symptoms, and where to go for support, this encourages people to get the help they need sooner. Talking about health problems, life challenges and worries is not easy and research highlights that although it is improving, men are more reluctant to talk about concerns and access support.Talking about men's healthin the workplace and schools is important as it presents more opportunities to raise awareness and to help provide support. If anyone is struggling with any of these issues please contact @international_mens_day or @movember Remember that talking saves lives.... #internationalmensday #movember #education #talkingsaveslives
