This week is Men’s Health Week (14 – 21 June). The focus this year is ‘how can we move forward?’. The lockdowns and uncertainty from the past year have challenged everybody’s mental health.
The Men’s Health Forum asks everyone to choose a different way to improve well-being each day of the week. Then, at the end of the week, select your favourites and do them again.
Take a look below at the “CAN DO” approach to mental wellbeing…
Connect with people, like friends you haven’t connected with since before lockdown. However, make sure to follow the most recent government guidelines.
Exercise plays a big part in reducing stress and anxiety. Therefore, it is essential to move your body by running, walking, swimming, or other activities.
Sometimes we are guilty of not truly noticing the nature around us, even though it has a profound impact on our well-being. There are countless ways to reconnect with the natural world, from visiting parks, forests, and other green spaces, to bringing elements of nature into your home or workplace, exercising outdoors, and taking steps to protect local wildlife.
Engaging with nature not only helps reduce stress and boost mood but also encourages mindfulness and a sense of calm. Read our blog to discover how nature can improve your mental health.
Trying and learning something new is vital to your well-being, especially over the past year where you may have been feeling in a rut. So, why not try taking up a new hobby?
Do something for someone else, like volunteering for a local community group or doing something for charity.
In 2019, the focus for Men’s Health Week was Men’s Health By Numbers. This topic encouraged those who participated in Men’s Health Week to highlight statistics and look at trends to encourage others to take men’s health seriously.
To highlight the importance of Men’s Health Week in 2019, we created a blog covering the seven critical numbers for men’s health.
This blog covers key construction health and safety points, including the importance of policies, assigned responsibilities, risk assessments, use of PPE, safe machinery operation, working at heights, manual handling, fire safety, hazardous materials, and first aid training.
There is a lot more focus these days on treating mental health issues as much of a priority as physical ill health. Because of this, it is beneficial to have someone in the workplace who is trained in Mental Health First Aid to help those affected.
Health and Safety training is imperative in all places of work in order to keep you and others free from harm. If you don’t know which health & safety training course will benefit you the most in your line of work, here is some information about our CITB courses and what they entail.
