Did you know that today is International Men’s Day? Today at DIT, the Gender Community of Practice group hosted an insightful lunchbox panel discussion which focused on men’s health and wellbeing - a topic that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves! The session, titled Men’s Health Champions, brought together four inspiring speakers who shared their personal journeys, emphasizing the importance of prioritising health and well-being. From balancing leadership responsibilities, navigating major career changes to overcoming life-altering challenges like cancer and stroke. Some of the key messages were: ✨ The importance of routine and how it provides stability during difficult times. ✨ The strength in vulnerability and the value of openly sharing struggles rather than internalizing them. ✨ Prioritising health - both physical and mental as a non-negotiable aspect of life. A big thank you to our incredible panelists, Andrew Excell, Josh Hubbard, Robert Kane and Curtly Hampton for their honesty, courage and vulnerability. Your stories are a powerful reminder of fostering open conversations around men’s health. As we celebrate International Men’s Day, let’s continue to break the stigma, create supportive spaces for men to share their experiences, and encourage everyone to prioritise their health and wellbeing. #internationalmensday2024 #DIT

Men’s Health Week is a global initiative that aims to empower men to prioritise their physical and mental well-being. It’s a call to action for men of all ages to take charge of their health and embrace personal growth. Men’s Health Week was created by Congress in 1994 to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases among men and boys. Since then, Men’s Health Week has become an annual event celebrated in many countries, including the UK, USA, Australia, and Canada. At ManHealth, we believe that every man and boy deserves the opportunity to achieve the best possible health and well-being, regardless of their background or location. We aim to heighten awareness of preventable health issues that affect men of all ages. We encourage men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices and activities. We advocate for early detection and timely treatment of health difficulties in males. This year’s theme is “Sharing Our Stories.” Just like King Charles, who openly shared his struggle with an enlarged prostate, honest sharing can make a significant impact. By sharing our experiences, we break down barriers and encourage others to seek help when needed. There is still time to participate in men’s health training programs with ManHealth. Together, we work towards zero suicides and better mental and physical health outcomes. Men’s health is not just an individual concern; it impacts families, communities, workplaces and society as a whole. Let’s break the silence, share our stories, and create a healthier future for everyone. For more information, visit https://lnkd.in/eMw7uADs and download our free workplace support booklet.

Did you know that globally, women are 36% more likely to report psychological distress than men? Yet, only 22% of women feel they have time to care for their emotional well-being. Today was an inspiring morning at the Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce Women's Wellness Conference! 💼💃 As we delved into discussions on empowering women's health and well-being, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of prioritizing our holistic wellness journey. 💪🌺 Additionally, when it comes to physical health, studies show that women are more prone to autoimmune diseases, affecting them at rates up to 9 times higher. These statistics underscore the urgency of conversations like the ones we had today, where we come together to support and uplift one another. 🌍💬 In the midst of these conversations, I'm reminded of the power of flourishing. 🌟🌷 It's not just about surviving; it's about thriving in every aspect of our lives. This drives my passion and brand - I want each and every one of you to flourish. So take those flowers in the picture and go flourish! 🌸 UFlourish 🌸 I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an empowering community and mission. 💖🙌 Here's my question for you: What's one small step you're committed to taking towards prioritizing your wellness? #WomensWellness #UFlourishCoaching #EmotionalFreedomandWellness

Understanding women's health goes beyond just knowing the basics. We hear a lot of advice like: → Eat a balanced diet! → Exercise regularly! → Manage stress! → Get regular check-ups! 🗣️ While it’s great we have so much health info online... The best workplaces thrive on shared support. 🤝 And support isn’t just about tips and advice. It’s about: → Recognising the unique health needs of women → Understanding that health affects everyone → Creating a supportive environment It's surprising how many aspects of women's health are overlooked, yet most people don’t realise the full picture until they face challenges. It’s crucial for employers to pay attention—women's health is everyone’s concern! 🤗 Want to make a real impact? Take the time to understand: → How to support women through different health challenges. → How to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. 💡 Even better, invite us to run an education program for your team at work. 👀 Hey, 👋 we host education sessions at workplaces to break down taboos and stigmas, making them more inclusive.

In honour of Men's Health Month, let's talk about healthcare access and usage among men. 🩺 Research shows that men underutilize routine and preventive health care services: men seek help 32% less frequently than women and typically only once their symptoms become severe (Kalmuss & Austrian, 2010; Springer & Mouzon, 2011; Thompson et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2013). Men who hold beliefs that "real men" are physically fit, self-reliant, and unemotional may try to endure health issues, avoid discussing health and wellbeing, and avoid seeking healthcare to help preserve their self-defined 'masculinity' (Springer & Mouzon, 2011). Healthcare underutilization may be especially prominent among men of colour and those identifying as LGBTQIA+, as these folks often face unique financial and social barriers to healthcare access. These groups may also harbor distrust towards healthcare systems due to their own and their communities' experiences of stigma and discrimination (Canuto et al., 2018; Kalmuss & Austrian, 2010, Whitehead et al., 2016, Jackson et al., 2016). Supports that resonate with mens' identities, values, and attitudes towards health and wellbeing can increase healthcare use and uptake among men. Organizations like @headsupguys, @instahim, and @menshealthfdn help connect men with supports that have meaningful, positive impacts on men’s mental and physical health. 💪 During Men's Health Month, it's crucial to break down barriers and encourage open conversations about health., particularly among those who self-identify as male By fostering environments that respect diverse identities and support individual health journeys, we can empower men to prioritize their well-being proactively. Together, let's advocate for inclusive healthcare access and promote resources that make a difference. #menshealthmonth #menshealth #mentalhealth #wellness #wellnesseducation
