#MOVE4MentalHealth calendar features premiere episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, FITFridays video workout series, and resources for health improvement
Vancouver, BC, June 1, 2022 – The Canadian Men’s Health Foundation (CMHF) is proud to announce the launch of Move For Your Mental Health 2022, a month-long event to raise awareness, educate and drive action for men and their family’s mental well-being. The campaign and podcast are made possible by a generous lead gift from The Jack and Darlene Poole Foundation.
Exercise lowers risks of anxiety and depression and improves cognition, quality of life and physical function—its role is essential to well-being. At least 150 minutes of activity each week benefits both physical and mental health.
Move For Your Mental Health 2022 encourages men to get active with helpful information and resources offered each week throughout June including: the Don’t Change Much Podcast, FITFridays video workouts, and health improvement tips from the Don’t Change Much blog.
“We want to educate men about the benefits of physical activity for their mental health,” said CMHF President and CEO, TC Carling. “By normalizing conversations about mental health and providing resources and encouragement, we can help men and their families take action.”
Don’t Change Much Podcast
The Don’t Change Much Podcast premieres Tuesday, June 7 and features real conversations with athletes, influencers and experts about the big impact of small changes to our physical and mental health. Hosted by Dan Murphy, new episodes air every Tuesday in June.
FITFridays
FITFridays is a four-part video workout series led by professional trainers from Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness, beginning on Friday, June 3. New family friendly workouts every Friday demonstrate interactive exercise and training techniques for any fitness level.
With on-going support from the Province of BC, and generous donors, CMHF continues to expand its partnerships across BC and Canada with like-minded partners that share the same values and goals.
