Buchanan Galleries Partners with Charities to Launch Health Initiative
Coinciding with Men’s Health Week (9–15 June) — an annual awareness campaign that highlights the health challenges men face and promotes strategies for better physical and mental wellbeing — Buchanan Galleries will welcome local men’s charities, organisations, and health services from across Glasgow and beyond.
Throughout the week, the centre will provide space between 10am and 4pm for each organisation to engage with the community, raise awareness of their work, and encourage men across the city to take positive steps toward improving their overall health.
Monday 9th: MindTheMen is Glasgow's oldest peer to peer support group for suicide prevention and men’s mental health. The service provides free face-to-face support groups and digital sessions, run by specially trained facilitators in mental health first aid and ASIST. The charity also hosts a range of social events such as fishing, cinema and theatre trips, and walks.
Tuesday 10th: MENSELF+ run a MOT 4 MEN programme designed to empower men to improve their health. The MOT 4 MEN involves a series of stations, each involving a quick and simple health check. The process is non-medical and designed to help men overcome any apprehension they may have about going to see a GP.
