Today marks the start of Men’s Health Week, an important opportunity to highlight the health and wellbeing of men and boys across our St Mary’s community.
Men’s Health Week is about more than physical fitness. It’s also about mental health, emotional wellbeing and creating a culture where looking after yourself is encouraged and supported.
This year’s Australian theme is “See a GP” — a reminder that if something doesn’t feel right, physically, mentally or emotionally, it’s worth speaking to a healthcare professional. Early action can make all the difference.
There are plenty of ways to get involved this week:
– Get active – join a team, go for a walk, or set a new fitness goal.
– Book a health check-up – routine screenings and assessments can help detect health issues early.
– Start a conversation – talking openly about stress, anxiety and mental wellbeing helps break down stigma and encourages people to seek support when they need it.
Together, we can help create a healthier, stronger and more connected community.
