Promoting mens mental health in the workplace this November

November is Men's Health Awareness Month

At UFV, we're committed to supporting the well-being of all employees. This month, we shine a spotlight on men's health—physical, mental, and emotional—and encourage open conversations, proactive care, and community connection.

Why It Matters: Men often face unique health challenges and may be less likely to seek support. By raising awareness and offering resources, we aim to foster a workplace culture where everyone feels empowered to prioritize their health.

What’s Happening This Month:

How You Can Get Involved:

Let’s work together to create a healthier, more supportive workplace for everyone.

Featured workshops & resources

LivingWorks safeTALK

This 3.5-hour training will help participants become more alert to the possibility that someone may be thinking about suicide and better prepared to connect them with further help. Participants will also receive a certificate upon completion.

Please note there are limited spots available on a first come, first served basis.

Eating Plan for Stress Management

Stress is a common workplace challenge that can have a mental and physical impact on well-being. Eating habits play a significant role in helping the body combat stress; yet as stress mounts, even healthy employees can see their eating habits deteriorate. In this session, participants will learn how the right foods can increase their energy levels, boost their immune defense, and allow for mental clarity. The session will also explore what participants can do to maintain a balanced diet that promotes a stress-free lifestyle.
