This week is set aside to encourage men to seriously think about their health and the need for regular check-ups to prevent and treat disease and injury. Just like every car comes with a maintenance manual in order to run at peak performance, men need to take the initiative to do regular health maintenance for optimum health and wellness. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), “several things work against men. They tend to smoke and drink more than women. They don't seek medical help as often as women. Some men define themselves by their work, which can add to stress. There are also health conditions that only affect men, such as prostate cancer and low testosterone. Many of the major health risks that men face - like colon cancer or heart disease- can be prevented and treated with early diagnosis.” Thus, by following a regular health screening guideline, men can make a big impact in improving and preventing disease. Please check out this website, for more information about regular screenings for men:

As we have witnessed the events of last week, we have experienced feelings including disbelief, confusion, grief, anger, and fear. Hearing about and watching these events have been very difficult. Seeing the images that have been in the news, or even hearing about the deaths and injuries could also cause some children to be worried and confused. As difficult as it can be to talk about these thing, parents need to be prepared to help their children with the range of reactions that they may experience. These conversations give parents an opportunity to help their children feel more secure and understand the world in which they live.
