Prostate Health in September

We're approaching the middle of September. Do you know someone with prostate health issues? You may have been diagnosed or you may know someone without realizing. How do we make the visit to the urologist less unpleasant? Having a welcoming environment for men (where they feel like they're at the doctor and more like they're in a safe haven) can help ease the mental uncertainty. Whether they're surrounded by sports memorabilia, cars and watch magazines, or any other popular imagery for men, giving them a space to feel relaxed, surrounded by brothers who can offer support is one way to tackle the stigma.

Hosting events and having the proceeds go to men's health orgs and research, health fairs that offer free screenings for men, and other reputable organizations in service of men's health is another idea to include men in a relaxing space while also supporting their health. Imagine playing a fun basketball charity game or a poker night for a cause.

The world has 7.5 billion people, so certainly even if only a portion of us came together for this cause, we can make a bigger impact than we think. Support the education and awareness of prostate health in your local circles!
