I thought I would start a thread on all things relating to this.

Here's an email that was sent out yesterday from the Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI):

From: Colin Fowler

Subject: Men's Health Week 2023 - We Need Your Help

Dear Colleague,

Men’s Health Week (MHW) begins on Monday 12th June 2023 and runs until Sunday 18th June. I am writing to ask you to support it in whatever way(s) you can - but, especially, by raising the profile of the week with your contacts and through social media. Here’s how you can simply and easily contribute …

One of the most effective ways to draw attention to MHW is by creating a huge stir on social media from the outset, and getting the week trending online. Traditional media (TV, radio and newsprint) often seem to use this popularity as an indicator of what they should be covering in their own output - so, the more online activity, the more traditional coverage we are likely to receive.

To do this, we simply need as many people as possible, to Post / Tweet / Re-Tweet as often as possible, throughout the week (but especially on the Monday) using the hashtags:

#MensHealthWeek | #ThePictureOfHealth

If you have your own social media content to share, that’s brilliant. If not, simply cut-and-paste from the ready-made common pool at https://www.mhfi.org/Tweets2023.pdf (or re-Tweet the content on other organisations’ sites).

There is also a dedicated social media image for each daily theme (in both Facebook/Instagram and Twitter format) available at: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-image-pack.html#SocialMedia2023 So, it couldn’t be easier!

Here are a few other things which you might find useful ...

The main information hub for the week is at: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-2023.html
A ‘Toolbox for Action’ paper tries to answer key questions about MHW 2023: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw2023toolbox.pdf
For anyone looking for simple things to do to mark the week, see: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw2023celebrateit.pdf
All of the graphics (in various sizes and formats) are stored at: https://www.mhfi.org/mhw/mhw-image-pack.html
An electronic version of the new 'Action Man' Manual is available at: https://mhfi.org/ActionMan2023.pdf

Any support that you can offer to MHW 2023 will be gratefully received. Even a few Tweets or Posts, using the hashtags above, will have a major positive impact.

All the best,

Coli
