💙 Today's International Men’s Day - a day all about making a positive difference to the wellbeing and lives of men and boys.

IMD is an opportunity to encourage open conversations around mental health, su***de prevention, and general wellbeing.

We know that talking about these topics can be tough, but it’s vital we don't shy away from them. Let’s work together to break the stigma, support each other, and create spaces where men feel safe to share.

Here at Healthy Cornwall we offer a variety of FREE programmes and training sessions that cover all aspects of health, here are some examples that link in with the themes of IMD:

🧠❤ Mental Health & Su***de First Aid Training - Learn how to support someone in crisis and make a real impact when it matters most.

⚽ Argyle FIT Men’s Weight Loss Football Leagues - Improve your health and wellbeing while enjoying the social side of football. These sessions give men the chance to talk openly, connect with others, and feel supported whilst enjoying the benefits of getting active.

❤️ Last week the team visited Alverton Primary School to talk about the importance of healthy snacks.

🥝 The children enjoyed learning about the importance of using our snacking time to have more fruit and veg, less sugar and more fibre.

🫛 We did some healthy snack tasting, which was a BIG hit! With lots of children trying new foods and realising they really liked them and saying how much they'd like to eat them again 🙌

✅ The School are now in the process of making healthy changes to their tuck shop and we can't wait to see the results! Well done everyone! 👏

Healthy Cornwall really enjoyed attending the Green Social Prescribing event on Bodmin Moor!

It was fantastic to join Cornwall National Landscapes and partners to celebrate the Natural Beauty and the Beast Project, which reconnects communities with Bodmin Moor’s stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and unique wildlife.

Why getting outdoors matters:
Spending time in nature can boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve physical health. Activities like walking, volunteering, and connecting with green spaces are proven to support mental wellbeing and help people feel more connected to their community.

Access Green Social Prescribing in Cornwall:
Green Social Prescribing helps improve health and wellbeing by connecting people with nature-based activities like walking groups, conservation volunteering, and community gardening.
