This week is Men’s Health Week organised by the Men’s Health Forum.
The focus for 2021 will be Mental Health in a Covid World.
For Men’s Health Week 2021, the Men’s Health Forum (MHF) are asking as many people as possible to try the CAN DO Challenge.
On Friday, everybody can give their support to the men’s health message by wearing blue. Can you give something else as well?
You CAN DO it for fun. Or you CAN DO it to fundraise. Support your favourite charity.
The five ways to wellbeing are five things we can all do that are scientifically-proven to help us feel better. For the CAN DO Challenge, choose a different way to wellbeing to for each day of Men’s Health Week.
Every day, a different way
The five ways are:
- Connect – connect with other people (eg. call an old friend you haven’t since before lockdown) #connectmonday
- (Be) Active – move your body (eg. go for a run/walk/swim/dance/shag) #activetuesday
- Notice – take notice of the environment around you (eg. turn off your phone for an hour) #noticewednesday
- Discover – learn something new (eg. read a book you haven’t read before) #discoverthursday
- Offer (or give) – do something for someone else (eg. volunteer for a local community group) #offerfriday
