This is Men's Health Week, running up to Father's Day on Sunday. It is a good prompt for all of us to look after our physical and mental health, and to encourage the men in our lives to do the same. If you have been putting off a health check, this could be the week to book one. Our support resources, including the employee assistance programme, are here: [link to EAP]. Talking really does help, so check in on each other.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

Keep the tone supportive and practical, and avoid jokey stereotypes about men not looking after themselves. Remember that Father's Day can be difficult for some colleagues, so do not lean too heavily on it.
