This week is Men’s Health Week, and this year’s theme is 'Shoulder-to-Shoulder: Connecting for Health'. The theme highlights the vital role that connection and support play in improving men's health—both mental and physical. It’s a time to encourage open conversations, challenge harmful stereotypes, and promote access to inclusive, culturally safe healthcare and support services.
