WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, May 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Men’s Health Network (MHN) is encouraging organizations, workplaces, healthcare providers, advocates, families, and communities to begin preparing now for Men’s Health Month (June 2026) and International Men’s Health Week (June 15–21, 2026) by visiting the official campaign website at www.MensHealthMonth.org.
Men’s Health Month (MHM) was founded by Men’s Health Network in 1994 to raise awareness about preventable health conditions affecting men and boys and to encourage prevention, early detection, and healthier lifestyles. Later, in 2002, MHN worked with its extended international network and partner organizations to help establish International Men’s Health Week (IMHW), which has since grown into a global movement recognized and supported by organizations, advocates, healthcare systems, and communities in countries around the world, with notable countries: Ireland, UK, Canada, Australia, and More.
Over the past 3 decades, the awareness movement has grown far beyond its original launch, becoming nationally and internationally recognized campaigns embraced by workplaces, healthcare systems, schools, nonprofits, community organizations, families, and advocates around the world. What began as an awareness initiative has evolved into a broader movement focused on improving health outcomes, strengthening families and communities, and helping close the Lifespan Gender Gap.
The MHM online awareness hub includes free downloadable resources, campaign messaging, important awareness dates, educational tools, social media graphics, newsletter and blog examples, proclamation samples, and ready-to-use outreach materials designed to help communities participate in MHM activities throughout June.
This year’s Men’s Health Month theme, “Partners in Care: Advancing Men’s Health Through Connection, Education, & Advocacy Across the Lifespan — for Better Lifespans,” emphasizes that men’s health is shaped by relationships, support systems, education, workplaces, and communities working together to encourage prevention, early detection, and healthier outcomes.
“The best time to prepare for Men’s Health Month is before June begins,” said Jennifer Thompson, Vice President of Operations & Communications at Men’s Health Network. “Whether someone wants to host a local men’s health event, organize a workplace Wear Blue campaign, share educational material, or the how-tos for starting conversations around men’s health, the resources are available online through the Men’s Health Month website to help communities prepare and make an impact.”
