Men's Mental Health Week 2022

Released On 9th Jun 2022

This year's theme: 'Man MOT'

What is a male health issue?

A male health issue is one that fulfils either or both of the following conditions:

• it arises from the physiological, social, cultural or environmental factors that have a specific impact on boys or men;
• it requires male-specific actions to achieve improvements in health or wellbeing at either an individual or a population level. 

What does 'Man MOT' mean?

"We've been through a lot these past couple of years. Covid has not gone away - not at all - but we are beginning to live with it. 

To do this, we need to be at the top of our game, physically and mentally. So, for this year's Men's Health Week, which runs 13-19 June it's time for you, me and men everywhere to give ourselves an MOT."
