Mandate Leave Pass

leavepasshero.jpg

Give the gift of health to the men in your lives and buy them a Mandate Leave Pass – It might just save his life!

HOW IT WORKS

Give the Mandate Leave Pass to the man/men in your life to take the afternoon off to go and see a GP for a general check up and then spend the rest of his day on a Man ”date”, doing something he loves with his mates.

HERE'S THE DEAL

For Women:

Women can be more comfortable talking about their health, we share so much – now it is time to encourage the men in our lives to have a check-up today – tomorrow may be too late. A Mandate Leave pass is a wonderful opportunity to talk to the man in your life. Buy the leave pass if you need to tempt him to make that appointment: every time he goes fishing or plays golf or does his thing, he knows he can thanks to you.

Men's Health Week is just 4 weeks away!

Men's Health Week is about encouraging local people to respond to the health and wellbeing needs of boys and blokes as they see fit.

Based on the idea that local people and local services are best placed to tackle health challenges, our 'Health Snapshots' theme aims to showcase the many different and creative ways local communities are responding.

Men's Health Week, June 10 to 16 2013 - Helping health services to help men and boys

Men's Health Week is different from many health promotion campaigns. Often you'll see campaigns that aim to shock, scare, compel or otherwise encourage people in the community to do 'more of this and less of that'.

We think that there is a real opportunity through Men's Health Week to empower people on the frontline of health to work with and reach out to local men and boys and find out what can they can mutually achieve to live more healthy lives where and as they live.

Local communities are the best placed to take a stand on the health issues that result in statistics like 'five times more males than females take their own lives each year' and 'men can expect to live four years less than women.'
