Mental health can strike anyone, at any time of their life. It does not discriminate against age, race or gender, and there is nothing to be ashamed about.
Movember is a great time to start a conversation with your partner, sibling, colleague or best friend about how they are going.
Men are more likely to hide or ignore their mental health challenges until it’s too late. However, there are many outlets available to offer support and guidance through unsure times.
Over the last few years there have been many stressful situations that people have had to face, from Covid-19 to working from home, family’s separated due to border shutdowns, let alone all the day-to-day stressors of work, family and social lives. But, help is available.
Why not visit https://nz.movember.com/mens-health/mental-health and find out more about their Movember Conversation tools, including ALEC (Ask, Listen, Encourage Action, Check in).
If you are still not sure about who to speak to regarding your mental health, then why not book an appointment to talk to your doctor or the practice’s Health Improvement Practitioner today. Call our reception team on 03 383 0219 to find a suitable time for you.
