Today marks the beginning of Men’s Health Week, a time to shine a light on the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our St Mary’s community.
Men face a higher risk of serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer — and mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, and suicide are far too common. Yet many still face stigma when seeking help.
Let’s change that. This week, we’re encouraging open conversations, regular check-ups, and small lifestyle changes that can make a big difference.
How you can get involved:
- Go for walks, set fitness goals, and get moving with your dad, brother, partner or mates.
- Encourage routine health check-ups and screenings. Early detection saves lives.
- Start honest conversations about mental health. Listening can be life-changing.
The Australian Men’s Health Forum is also hosting FREE daily lunch-time chats on a range of men’s health topics including helping mates and stroke awareness.

Let’s build a healthier future for the men in our lives.
