The staff at CRHC wore blue on Thursday, June 13th to support and promote Men's Health Week. Wear BLUE was created by Men’s Health Network to raise awareness about men’s health issues. There is an ongoing, increasing and predominantly silent crisis in the health and well-being of men. Due to a lack of awareness, poor health education, and culturally induced behavior patterns in their work and personal lives, men’s health and well-being are deteriorating steadily. A Wear BLUE event can educate men, women, and their families of the need to raise awareness of this silent crisis in men’s health. Check out this the Wear Blue Website for information, tools, and resources to help you plan an impactful Wear BLUE event in your workplace, religious, or community group. Wear BLUE provides a unique platform for awareness and education efforts as well as visual support.
