This week is Men’s Health Week
11-17 June and we
are encouraging all men to start a conversation about their health and
wellbeing with someone they trust.
For many different reasons, men often feel they can’t talk
about their own physical health or emotions. Men tend to battle through,
ignoring warning signs just hoping they will go away, however, it is healthy to
talk. Having a chat to someone in your family, or a mate at work, in the men’s
shed, at band practise or the local sporting club, can stop a minor problem
turning into something bigger. The simple act of sharing a concern can
turn someone’s life around. We urge all men to talk about how they are
feeling.
The following seminars are available for you to join to get
some more information about Mens health issues and they are free to join via
webinar or at the Clayton campus

literature provides conflicting evidence as to whether men should be screened
for prostate cancer – and at what age. The presentation will outline the
diagnostic test used for prostate cancer screening, benefits and limitations

cancer screening.
