Mens Health Week 2021

1. Men’s Health Week 2021 Men’s Health Week this year runs from June 14th to June 21st and includes the CAN DO Challenge on the Monday through to the Friday, there being five ways to wellbeing and the five days of the week. Everyone’s mental health has been challenged by the pandemic and the resultant lockdowns, and although it is hoped that the worst of it is over, there is still cause for concern. There is a wide gap between the high number of men who die from suicide and those who look for treatment for anxiety and depression. There has also been a large rise in youth unemployment and young men at school and university have been hit with home-schooling. In addition, some groups of male-dominated workers, such as taxi drivers for instance, have suffered badly from the loss of income and have not had much in the way of support from the government. Furthermore, many men, such as those working in construction for example, have jobs which cannot be done from home which has meant that they have been at greater risk of Covid-19. All of which has led to more mental ill health.

One thing that can contribute to this is acupuncture for anxiety in London which is proven to help to relieve stress.
