Men and Work - Resource Pack

Since it was first held in 2002, NMHW has grown in size every year and is now a firm feature on the health improvement calendar.  Each year NMHW focuses on a different area of policy relevant to men's health.  Previous weeks have looked at:

• Male health in general (2002)
• Men and sexual health (2003)
• Men and cancer (2004)
• Men and obesity (2005)
• Men and mental health (2006)
• Men and long-term medical conditions (2007)

You can find out more on all of the previous weeks by clicking here or there is a short history available at NMHW a Short History.

National Men's Health Week 2008

The 2008 week, the seventh such event, will focus on men in the workplace. The week will focus on three main areas:

• To ensure health and safety and risk avoidance better targets men in the workplace
• To use the workplace to reach men with health promotion interventions
• To link into the government's Health, Work and Wellbeing strategy. 

For more detail see Aims and Activities. For ideas for your own events see Running Events

About the Resource Pack

This year's web-based resource pack, developed to maximise limited resources for the week, broadly follows the same structure as the 2007 version building on users' comments in the post-week evaluation. We'll welcome your comments once again after the week is over.

We do not want to exclude anyone from receiving information information in the resource pack. Therefore, if online is not suitable for you and you or a colleague would prefer certain sections sent to you in hard copy, please let us know using the box at the foot of this page.

Future Plans and Up-dates

Plans for NMHW will continue to develop right up until the date of the Week itself. This Resource Pack and all the other material on the site is best regarded as 'work in progress'. Check back here and on the main MHF site (www.menshealthforum.org.uk) regularly and look out for emails.
