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:
- Wellness Workshops: Participate in sessions focused on mental health, stress management, and healthy lifestyle habits. See list of upcoming workshops
- Health Resources: Explore UFV’s employee supports, including Teledoc Health - Men's Health Guide, UFV Strive to Thrive program, and recreation services
- iCBT Mental Health Supports - Homewood Health.
- Check-In Campaign: We’re encouraging departments to schedule regular check-ins to support open dialogue and connection.
- Build Connection: Come out and support UFV Cascades on November 28.
How You Can Get Involved:
- Start a conversation with a colleague.
- Attend a wellness event or workshop.
- Share resources and support services with your team:
- Don’t Change Much podcast
- Are you a new father? Learn about vulnerability in fatherhood

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