The 2026 Men’s Health Month campaign recognizes that men’s health is shaped by their relationships, support systems, education, workplaces, and community. By working together, we can encourage healthier outcomes for all men.

This month, we're reinforcing the importance of awareness, education, and proactive health conversations, including about mental health. Check back throughout June as we share information and ways to get involved!

Founded by Men's Health Network in 1994 to raise awareness about preventable health conditions affecting men and boys, Men’s Health Month is now an international campaign. Visit the official website at www.MensHealthMonth.org.
