Men's Health Week may have passed three weeks ago, but the importance of men's well-being remains ever-present. I am coming up for air, recovering from the shock of a friend's suicide and my elderly uncle's emergency surgery for bowel cancer. It is a reminder of how fragile we all are. And that despite the checks and balances, people fall through the cracks and the consequences can be significant. Reflecting on these events raises questions: How can we encourage men to seek help when needed? And equally important, how can we assist those who struggle to reach out for support? In the wake of challenging circumstances, let's continue the conversation on men's mental and physical health, ensuring that resources and support are accessible to all. Together, we can strive to bridge gaps, offer compassion, and promote a community where seeking help is not a sign of weakness but an act of strength. #MensHealth #Support #Wellbeing #Awareness

How is "quality of life" measured, communicated, and interpreted? The term is being used increasingly by medical practitioners and patient associations, but it can be difficult to define due to its subjective nature and individual perception. "Quality of life is a concept that is very complicated to define because it varies from cultures, gender, phases of life. For patients, it depends on their health, their body, their mental health, but also on how much access they have to information and knowledge about what’s happening with them and access to care.” Read more from #TeamUHN's Andrea Furlan, pain expert and physician at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute:
