Canadian Men's Health Foundation

Established in 2014 the canadian men's health foundation (cmhf) is one of canada's leading men's health charities. Using a number of online tools information portals and partnerships with like-minded organizations cmhf works to educate men to help prevent chronic illness and advocate for society change to improve the lives of men and their families. While our resources are available year-round through our website and social media channels cmhf does have specific campaigns throughout the year. The first six months are dedicated to information and programs related to men's mental health. This includes mindfit toolkit an online assessment designed with the help of psychologists and elite athletes to prompt men to start improving their mental health. The toolkit helps men and their families build the skills to cope with stress and anxiety and offers the option of counseling. During this period we also release the healthy eating guide. This is a campaign to educate and build awareness around the benefits of eating healthier. Statistics show 70 percent of chronic disease in men can be avoided by changing habits and eating a healthier more balanced diet. We post healthy eating tips recipes and share medical research with our audiences. Move for your mental health is designed to educate and prompt men to get active and avoid sedentary habits. Studies show moving and exercising are some of the best ways to improve mental health. We partner with a former nhl player and produced videos demonstrating key exercises and share these widely through our digital assets as well as through television and radio interviews. Men's health check is a free medical reviewed list of questions designed to help men and their family stay up to date on early detection tests and screening. The interactive digital checklist covers 21 important health tests exams screens and vaccines in one trackable list with recommendations on how often to get tested.
