Men’s Health Week 2016 is from the 13 - 19 June and will focus on How Do You Beat Stress? We all get stressed the question is what do you do about it? Stress matters because if we don’t release stress it can turn into something more serious.

Every year one in four of use develops a mental health problem and stress is one of these. There are many ways we can beat stress, exercise, sing, dance, laugh, play or listen to music, paint, write, volunteer, learning something new and lots more.

One of the easiest ways to beat stress is to talk about it. Talk to your mates, talk to your family and there is always professional help in Kent we have Release the Pressure campaign and 24 hour free helpline: 0800 107 0160 and free NHS Therapy services that you can refer yourself into.
