As Men's Health Week approaches next month (June 10-16), it's essential we take a moment to reflect on the significance of this event and the urgent need to raise awareness about the various health issues affecting men, including mental health.
At AndThen, we are committed to making a positive impact - not just this week, but every week. We are proud to have been founded on the principle of not just offering the ultimate comfort in sustainable men’s underwear, but on giving back to our community by donating 50% of profits to men’s mental health charities dedicated to supporting those in need.
Understanding Men's Health Week
Men's Health Week is an annual event dedicated to addressing the health challenges faced by men. It aims to promote healthy living, encourage early detection and treatment of diseases, and foster a culture where men feel comfortable seeking help for their health issues. This year, the focus is on encouraging men to share their stories, following the inspiring example set by King Charles, who earlier this year publicly shared his experience with an enlarged prostate.
The importance of men's mental health
Mental health is a crucial component of overall well-being, yet it is often neglected among men. Societal expectations and stigmas can make it difficult for men to talk about their mental health struggles. Depression, anxiety, and stress are prevalent, and men are less likely to seek help compared to women. By raising awareness and promoting open discussions, we can help break down these barriers and ensure that men receive the support they need.
Our commitment
At AndThen, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting each other through difficult times. Our mission is to make men the best versions of themselves by building a community of confident men who value comfort and support one another. This is demonstrated by our commitment to donate 50% of our profits to organisations dedicated to men's mental health. These organisations provide essential services, including counselling, resources, and advocacy, helping men to address their mental health issues effectively.
How you can support
We invite you to join us in supporting men's mental health in three ways:
- Raise awareness: Share information about Men's Health Week and the importance of mental health support for men on your social media platforms and within your communities
- Support our cause: By purchasing silky-soft bamboo boxers from AndThen for all the men in your life, you will be contributing to our donation efforts. You’ll also be introducing them to the ultimate comfort in men’s underwear!
- Encourage storytelling: Motivate the men in your life to share their health stories, just as King Charles has done. Sharing experiences can help reduce stigma and promote a culture of openness and support
