This week is Men’s Health Week (15-21 June). It is all about promoting men’s health and wellbeing, bringing awareness of preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment. Pressures balancing work and family life and worries about loved ones and their health are all currently exacerbated during the pandemic.

It is often the case that men are more reluctant than their female counterparts to seek medical assistance to deal with work-related mental health issues. Recent data shows 33 percent of Australian men list anxiety as their top personal issue, followed by 23 percent listing depression. As for workplace issues, 16 percent of Australian men put stress at the top of their list, and 10 percent listing career concerns as their number two.
