💪 Men’s Health Week is coming up! - #islvideo
It runs from Monday 9th June to Sunday 15th June 2025 — always the week leading up to Father’s Day.
This week is all about raising awareness of men’s health — physical, mental, and emotional and encouraging men and boys to take steps toward better well-being. 🧠💙
Led by the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI), and supported by the HSE, Public Health Agency, and 90+ other groups, this is a nationwide effort to support men’s health.
📱 We’ll be sharing updates, tips, and videos all week — especially for the Deaf community — so keep an eye on our social media!
👉 This year’s theme: “Shoulder-to-Shoulder: Connecting for Health”
What does that mean?
It means you don’t have to face things alone.
If you’re struggling — talk to someone.
Share what’s going on.
We’re stronger when we connect and support each other. 🤝
💬 Maybe you’re feeling:
😞 Suicidal or hopeless
😰 Anxious or overwhelmed
😠 Angry and unsure why
😔 Lonely or disconnected
💸 Worried about money or work
💔 Struggling with family or relationships
💬 Coming out or facing identity challenges
Whatever you’re going through — you are not alone.
Men’s Health Week is about starting conversations, breaking the silence, and reminding everyone that it’s okay to ask for help. 💙
Let’s look after each other — shoulder to shoulder.
