Men's Health Training

Better conversations about men's health, at work and beyond.

Men's health is physical and mental health together. Our training helps people notice when a colleague or friend might be struggling, start a conversation that feels natural, and know what practical support looks like.

Why men’s health conversations matter

Men’s health covers the whole picture: heart and circulation, sleep, energy, alcohol, prostate and testicular health, as well as mood, anxiety and stress. Physical and mental health affect each other, and at work they show up together in energy, concentration and how connected someone feels to their team.

None of this requires a clinical conversation. Often the difference is a colleague who notices, asks how someone is doing and is willing to listen without rushing to fix it.

Men are often less likely to talk about how they are feeling, or to ask for help early
Physical and mental health are connected, and both are easier to support when they are talked about openly
Small, everyday conversations at work can make it easier for someone to say things are not okay
Champions give people an approachable first point of contact, not a clinical service

Men's Health Champion training feedback

“This was one of the best online courses I have ever done. I was apprehensive about its advertised duration (four hours) but it was broken up with short breaks and the content and delivery made it a very engaging session and the time flew by. Definitely ten out of ten from me.”
“Dr Rachel was excellent. Really informative session with the right balance of insight and information and group discussion. We will definitely be looking to implement and share a lot of the information obtained through the training to improve our men's health offering.”
“The balance between input and engagement with participants was spot on. The course content was all really useful.”
