Online library stays open to strengthen men’s health promotion in Australia

A virtual edition of the Health Promotion Journal of Australia has been put together around the theme of strengthening men’s health promotion in Australia.

The Australian Men’s Health Forum partnered with Freemasons Centre for Male Health and Wellbeing – Northern Territory and the editorial team of the Health Promotion Journal of Australia – to collate a selection of 19 articles that advance men’s health research, policy and practice responses at local, national and global levels.

Topics include men’s help-seeking, the advancement of the men’s sheds movement, parenting and fathers’ roles in family-oriented health promotion programs, strategies for engaging at risk and hard-to-reach populations of men and the impact of masculinities on men’s health promotion.

Coinciding with the AMHF-hosted Men’s Health Connected online seminar (10-14 May) and  Men’s Health Week from 14-20 June, the virtual issue is accessible until the end of July.
