Supporting Men’s Health in the Workplace
The statistics are out:
· 1 in 5 men die before 65 from preventable illness
· Only 20% of men seek therapy for mental health struggles
Many people are afraid to share their health struggles because they worry about being judged, or that it may affect their job in some way. So, what can be done to make a real difference?
Raise awareness of men’s health challenges
Reduce stigma around mental health conversations
Foster a supportive work culture
Introduce a private and confidential employee assistance programme
Make sure managers are trained to deal and support people with health conditions
Get involved in Men’s Health Week 9 – 15 June 2025
