June is Men's Health Month. This month is a time to bring awareness to several issues surrounding men's health and identify some important steps that can be taken to improve mental and physical health. Men tend to stay silent about health issues and often wait longer than women to seek help from a doctor. This has led to men being more often affected by preventable diseases compared to women. The same can be said in mental health, which is often an ignored topic by men. Talking about your mental health, seeking treatment for health issues and leading a healthy lifestyle are all ways that men can participate in Men's Health Month, and make a positive overall change in their lives. #menshealthmonth2024

🌸 May is Women's Health Month! 🌸 This month, let's prioritize and celebrate women's health. From routine check-ups to mental wellness, every aspect of health is crucial. Here are a few ways we can support and promote women's health: 1. Regular Screenings: Early detection saves lives. Encourage the women in your life to schedule their routine check-ups. 2. Mental Health: Mental well-being is just as important as physical health. Let's break the stigma and support open conversations about mental health. 3. Healthy Lifestyle: Balanced nutrition and regular exercise can make a big difference. Small, consistent steps lead to lasting changes. 4. Education and Awareness: Knowledge is power. Sharing information about women's health issues helps spread awareness and empowers others. Let's take this month to remind ourselves and each other of the importance of health and well-being. 💪💖 #WomensHealthMonth #Wellness #HealthAwareness

Green social prescribing, where we connect the people we support with projects in nature, is always very popular. The benefits of being outside are huge for our physical, mental and social health, and wellbeing.

The BMJ Global Health states, “[Social Prescribing] connects individuals to non-clinical services and supports that address social needs, such as those related to loneliness, housing instability and mental health. At the person level, social prescribing can give individuals the knowledge, skills, motivation and confidence to manage their own health and well-being.” Read more here: https://bit.ly/4evFoKg #ArtPharmacy #Healthcare #Wellness #MentalHealth #SocialPrescribing

Last weekend, we had a critical conversation about men's mental health with Dinesh Sangroula, MD. Did you know that in 2019, nearly 80% of suicide deaths in the U.S. were among men? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting System and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, men are more than three times more likely to die by suicide than women, with the highest rates occurring after age 65. These statistics are not just numbers; they represent fathers, sons, brothers, and friends. It's crucial to understand the factors that contribute to these alarming trends. Let's work together to break the stigma. #MensHealth #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #SupportEachOther [Link to the study] (https://lnkd.in/e4NvF-Xf)
