AUSTRALIA MEN’S HEALTH

    If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t be afraid to ask for help, also if you’re showing signs and/or symptoms of anything out of the ordinary, seek professional help from a medical team as soon as possible.   Men’s Health week 2023 Men’s Health Week in Australia takes place from 12-18 June 2023. This event is celebrated every year around the world, and in Australia, it is organised by the Centre for Male Health at Western Sydney University, a partner of the Australian Men’s Health Forum. This is also known here in Australia and some other parts of the world as “Movember month” which will be discussed more in New Zealand Men’s Health Month. The theme for 2023 in Australia is Healthy Habits. GIVE A KNOW YOUR MAN FACTS TALK To celebrate this theme and to support organisations, groups, and individuals during Men’s Health Week, the Australian Men’s Health Forum has released a new Know Your Man Facts toolkit called ‘Exercise + Men’s Health.’ GET THE TOOLKIT Know Your Man Facts toolkits include a tailor-made presentation, complete with speaker notes and social media graphics that can be shared across various communication channels. There is an infographic summarising key points and suggestions to make your Men’s Health Week Activity interactive. We also have a free booklet to download, as well as Men’s Health Week 2023 poster, or you can order hard copies via admin@amhf.org.au    HOW TO USE THE KNOW YOUR MAN FACTS TOOLKIT WEBINAR If you need more guidance on how to deliver the Know Your Man Facts presentation, we will run a webinar filled with valuable tips on 6 June at 10 am AEST.

To all autistic people out there, remember that you are valued and loved just the way you are. Your unique perspective and skills offer a richness to the world around us. It is important to embrace who you are and take pride in your strengths, no matter how different they may be from others. We understand that navigating the world can be challenging, but know that you are not alone. There is a supportive community out there and resources available to help you thrive. Always remember that your worth is not defined by your diagnosis or other people's perceptions. You are a valuable and cherished member of society, and your efforts to better yourself and the world around you make a huge difference. So keep shining, keep persevering, and keep being you!
