It is often said that we do not talk about or acknowledge men's health and wellness often enough. I tend to agree. I also agree that change depends on us and it needs to start with men.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464739\" data-originallang=\"en\">First of all, there is a stigma surrounding men\u2019s mental health. Many men feel as though they cannot reach out for help when they need it due to some societal expectations of masculinity. This must change. Mental health care is health care and men ought to feel more comfortable talking about our health, our mental health, our struggles and our challenges. We all have them. \u201cGuys, let us speak up.\u201d</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464740\" data-originallang=\"en\">I recently joined Dr. Leigh Vanderloo, the scientific director at ParticiPACTION and host Buzz Bishop on his \u201cDon't Change Much\u201d podcast with the Canadian Men's Health Foundation to chat about how important movement is for our minds and bodies and just to talk about men's health. Let us do that through this month and ongoing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464741\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since I might not get a chance to say it next week, I wish a happy Father's Day to all the dads and granddads out there.</p>",

On dit fr\u00e9quemment qu'on ne prend pas assez souvent le temps de parler de la sant\u00e9 et du bien-\u00eatre des hommes et d'en reconna\u00eetre l'importance. Je suis plut\u00f4t d'accord. Je suis \u00e9galement d'accord pour dire que le changement d\u00e9pend de nous et qu'il doit commencer par les hommes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464739\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tout d'abord, la question de la sant\u00e9 mentale des hommes est stigmatis\u00e9e. De nombreux hommes ont l'impression de ne pas pouvoir demander de l'aide lorsqu'ils en ont besoin en raison de certaines attentes de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de la masculinit\u00e9. Cela doit changer. Les soins de sant\u00e9 mentale sont des soins de sant\u00e9, et les hommes devraient se sentir plus \u00e0 l'aise de parler de leur sant\u00e9, de leur sant\u00e9 mentale, de leurs luttes et de leurs difficult\u00e9s. Nous en avons tous. \u00ab Les gars, parlons-en franchement. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464740\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai r\u00e9cemment \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9 avec la Dre Leigh Vanderloo, la directrice scientifique de ParticipACTION, au balado \u00ab Don't Change Much \u00bb de la Fondation pour la sant\u00e9 des hommes au Canada, qui \u00e9tait anim\u00e9 par Buzz Bishop, afin de discuter de la sant\u00e9 des hommes en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et de l'importance de l'activit\u00e9 physique pour l'esprit et le corps. Parlons-en tout au long du mois et continuons par la suite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8464741\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je n'aurai peut-\u00eatre pas l'occasion de le dire la semaine prochaine, je souhaite une joyeuse f\u00eate des P\u00e8res \u00e0 tous les p\u00e8res et \u00e0 tous les grands-p\u00e8res.</p>"
