Today's #MensHealthWeek activities involved visiting Havant Men's Shed.
Over tea (and a biscuit or two) we heard about personal experiences with illness and how the support at Men's Shed has helped individuals through difficult times.

You can find out more about Havant Men's Shed by visiting the Pallant Centre this Saturday for the Havant Horticulture Show.

This #MensHealthWeek we are sharing resources and starting conversations.

You can find out more about we are doing by making sure you follow us on facebook, twitter and Instagram.

If you would like to know about our support, visit www.easthantsmind.org

We started our week by asking Mike, from our Community Development Team, why he thinks this week is important. He said -

“Male stereotypes, highlighted by terms such as 'man up', can lead to thoughts and feelings being overlooked and ignored. Men’s Health Week is a great opportunity to discuss the issues currently affecting our health.
We have regular reminders we should be balancing our diet and exercising more. But it is also important to keep our minds healthy and active.
At this moment in time, suicide is the largest killer of men under 50. Think about that, currently the biggest danger to my life, is me.
This week is an important opportunity to draw attention to men’s health, both physical and mental. It is a week to remind men, it’s ok to need support and it’s ok to ask for help.
Let this week be the start of a conversation.”
- Mike, Community Development Team at HEH Mind

Today we have been reading Lee's article about his thoughts on why men should start talking - www.mind.org.uk/information-support/your-stories/man-up-getting-more-men-in-mental-health/

Later this week we will be visiting a few community spaces to talk and share information about our services.

We will also be attending tomorrows #HaylingBilly5 event. So look out for our tshirts.

Reminder, you can find out about all our services at www.easthantsmind.org and follow the conversation online using #MensHealthWeek ... See MoreSee Less

We are delighted to round off #VolunteersWeek by mentioning one of our amazing volunteers, who recently received the 2nd place certificate for 'Unsung Hero' at the Havant Volunteer Awards.

Bruce helps in many ways at HEH Mind and we are very pleased to see him recognised by Havant Borough Council. Bruce is a volunteer that goes above and beyond, and never asks for or expects thanks/ recognition.
Many local charities, including ourselves, rely on people like Bruce to keep us positive, motivated and smiling. A huge thank you and well done to Bruce.

Who's ready for next weeks #HaylingBilly5?

We have a couple of runners taking part this year. So come along and cheer them on next Wednesday.

If you missed out on getting a place in the 5 mile event along the Billy Track, don't worry. There's still places in Octobers #GreatSouthRun (it is only twice the distance). We provide all our runners with t-shirts and support their efforts as runners and potential fundraisers.
