international men's health week 2022

Men’s Health Week (MHW) always begins on the Monday before Father's Day and ends on Father's Day itself. This year, it will run from Monday 13th until Sunday 19th June 2022.

MHW is celebrated in most European countries, as well as in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and a number of other places worldwide. Celebration of the week in Ireland is coordinated by the Men's Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI). The Forum works in partnership with a broad range of organisations from across the island to mark this occasion.

The overall aims of MHW each year are to:

* Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages;
* Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices / activities;
* Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males.

MHW gives everyone (health professionals, service providers, youth groups, sporting bodies, community organisations, employers, policy makers, family workers, the media, parents, individuals) an opportunity to encourage men and boys to take better care of their health and to seek help or treatment at an early stage.
​
This year, the focus in Ireland will be upon 'Men United - for health and wellbeing'.
