At Simplify Consulting we are proud to support International Men’s Day.
On 19th November, International Men’s Day celebrates worldwide the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. It highlights the importance of being positive role models and raises the awareness of men’s well-being….. This years theme focuses on “Better health for men and boys.”
Men face a series of health challenges that aren’t widely recognised and need to be addressed…
- men have a suicide rate 3 times higher than women
- 1 in 3 men have been the victims of domestic violence
- men on average die 4-5 years before women
- men are nearly twice as likely to suffer from lung cancer than women
- men are nearly twice as likely to suffer from heart disease than women
Especially important is taking action in relation to the international male suicide rate. If you missed my previous blog focusing on mental health please check it out, which has some practical steps in supporting those around you Fighting The Isolation Mental Health Battle.
Please get involved by raising awareness and posting info about the day on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram using hashtags like #internationalmensday #celebratemen #menshealth #stopmalesuicide or holding an event.
