UHSM believes in preventative care as a means for supporting a better sense of wellness and health over one's whole life. Nonprofit organizations such as Men's Health Network and Healthy Men, Inc. support and foster a sense of wellness and health, for men, through conducting research as to the state of men in modern society, and have found that men often suffer in silence, as there is a lack of awareness, support, education and stark societal and behavioral patterns that often lead to stigmas around what it means to be a healthy male. End the Silence is a phrase crafted by Men's Health Network to bring awareness to the importance of receiving regular check-ups, learning about health facts, and upgrading one's life to with better decisions surrounding lifestyle choices for men for Men's Health Week and the continuation of Men's Health Month, June 2022.
"Men and boys continue to have a higher death rate in nine of the 10 leading causes of death," says Ana Fadich-Tomsic, vice president of Men's Health Network. "This disparity in male mortality is due to many factors, including the glaring lack of covered well-man visits."
"Males are three to seven times more likely than females to commit suicide, which explains why suicide is the 6th leading cause of death for males and isn't in the top 10 for females at all," says Dr. Sal Giorgianni, senior science advisor for Men's Health Network. "This tragic disparity directly results from poor male-focused screening tools for behavioral health issues that lead to suicide in men. In addition, few clinicians and community leaders are receiving adequate training to identify, interrupt, triage, and manage mental health issues in boys and men."
