Men’s Health Week
15–21 June is Men’s Health Week, providing an opportunity to reflect on the importance of looking after our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
For many men, being part of a club provides more than just an opportunity to train, compete or volunteer. It provides connection, friendship, purpose and a sense of belonging. These things play an important role in wellbeing, particularly during times of stress, challenge or change.
While many men are good at supporting others, they are often less likely to seek support for themselves. Men’s Health Week is a timely reminder that looking after your wellbeing is just as important as looking after those around you. Whether it’s checking in with a mate, making time for a conversation, reaching out for support, or simply taking a moment to check in with yourself, small steps can make a meaningful difference.
If you or someone you know could use some extra support, confidential wellbeing assistance is available through the LSV Member Assistance Program, Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) or Lifeline (13 11 14).
