    Just to point out that I've no formal involvement with the Men's Health Forum in Ireland; I'm just on their mailing list and thought I'd highlight their stuff. Men's Health issues don't get so much focus on tGC.

    Thanks for the updates Kangaroo. Much appreciated.

    I was shocked when my 34-year-old friend told me recently he didn't realise testicular cancer is a young man's disease.

    It can affect very young men.

    Its almost ironic- the vast majority of people drawing attention to mens health issues- are women. Why are we so crap at it?

    I think for a lot of men, showing illness is a sign of weakness. It's a very old fashioned attitude that, thankfully seems to be missing in younger generations.

    A lot of older people, men and women, have an 'ignore it and it'll go away' attitude

    I don't think it is a case of being crap at it more than the approach that 99% of aches and twinges are nothing to worry about and justifying €60 and a few hours out from work isn't seemingly worth the hassle.
    Women on the other hand build up a relationship with their GP over years as they are visiting anyway whether to go for pills/pregnancy where they can address other matters of concern at the same time.
    With the (proposed) free GP care and a bit of awareness advertising similar to the links on Kangaroo's post alot more men should become more open to visiting GP's regularly.
    I do think there are issues with the funding for campaigns highlighting mens health problems along with the often rushed experience I personally have found when visiting GPs.

    Free Workshops on 'Connecting with Young Men'

    Dear Colleague,

    One of the big questions of the age is:

    ‘Are young men not interested in looking after their own health, or are we simply not offering them the right things in the right way? ...’

    If you work in the Republic of Ireland, are curious about the answer to this question, and would like practical ideas to help your organisation to engage more effectively with young men, then you might be interested in a free one day workshop titled 'Connecting with Young Men'.

    This workshop has been developed by the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) - funded by the HSE’s National Office for Suicide Prevention - and is a new Unit within the highly regarded ‘Engage’ National Men’s Health Training Programme. MHFI is, currently, looking for groups and individuals who would like to host this free workshop for their staff / volunteers / activists or to participate in one of the ‘Open Workshops’.

    For more information, see the details attached.

    Here's the covering note:
    Dear Colleague,

    I am pleased to attach a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the April 2016 edition of ‘E-Male Matters’ - the newsletter of the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI). We hope that you will find something of interest to you in it. You can also access an online copy of this newsletter at: www.mhfi.org/newsletters/about-e-male-matters.html

    Much of this edition is dedicated to International Men’s Health Week (MHW), which will take place from Monday 13th - Sunday 19th June 2016. The theme for the island of Ireland this year is: ‘Men United - for Health and Wellbeing’. MHW 2016 begins just after the start of the Euro 2016 competition in June. As football fever is spreading across all parts of Ireland, we are delighted that Martin O'Neill (Team Manager, Republic of Ireland) and Michael O'Neill (Team Manager, Northern Ireland) have agreed to act as our 'poster boys' for MHW 2016.

    This newsletter gives details of how you can get involved in Men’s Health Week. Can I especially draw your attention to the articles on ‘The Toolkit for Action’, the posters / postcards for MHW 2016, and the ‘Challenges and Choices’ Man Manual? All of these materials are available free-of-charge. Please visit www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-2016.html for details of how to get them.

    Best wishes,

    Colin

We are very grateful to Health Ministers Simon Harris and Michelle O’Neil who launched the countdown to MHW last week. Thanks, too, to everyone who has been actively promoting the week via social media and the new MHW YouTube video channel. It is much appreciated. The word is, certainly, getting out there. Amazingly, all 47,000 copies of the ‘Challenges and Choices’ Man Manual, 12,000 MHW postcards, and 7,000 MHW posters have now been given out - we have no more in stock!

    I'm not sure how many people read the emale newsletter that kangaroo posts but just in case not many do, I would like to draw your attention to a survey that is linked to in the latest one. Here is the blurb on it:
    Knowledge of Cancer Risk Factors in Irish Males
    The number of cancers occurring worldwide is increasing. This is partly because populations
    are living longer, but also because of an increase in cancer causing behaviours. It is estimated
    that at least one third of all cancers could be prevented through adopting a healthy diet, staying
    active, and maintaining a healthy body weight. Researchers at University College Cork have
    compiled a set of questions relating to cancer risk factors. They are asking men in Ireland to
    complete this survey in order to better understand how much local males understand about
    cancer risk factors. This is important, as it will help health professionals and policy makers to
    develop better cancer awareness programmes in the future. To access / complete the survey,
    visit: www.surveymonkey.com/r/C6MZJWQ

    Note: I have no affiliation to the survey other than a general interest.

    February 2018 issue of the e-newsletter, e-Male matters now out

    The Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) have just sent out the February issue of the e-newsletter, e-Male matters.

    It can be read for free at: http://www.mhfi.org/emale81.pdf .

    Here's the covering note:
    Dear Colleague,

    I am pleased to attach a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the February 2018 edition of ‘E-Male Matters’ - the newsletter of the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI). I hope that you will find something of interest to you in it. You can also access an online copy of this newsletter (and earlier editions) at: www.mhfi.org/newsletters/about-e-male-matters.html

    Can I especially draw your attention to the fact that the Men’s Health Symposium being held in Dublin on Thursday 15th March 2018 is now fully booked. However, there are still some places available at the ‘Hope from Hopelessness’ workshop in Derry / Londonderry (5th March) and ‘The Main Man (and Woman)’ seminar in Armagh (23rd March).

    At this time of the year, we also try to ‘Spring Clean’ our mailing list, and to remove anyone from it who no longer wishes to receive our newsletter. Please let us know if this is the case - as we don’t want to clutter your Inbox with unwanted mail.

    Best wishes,

    Colin
