Men's Health Month (MHM) Report for 2025 Fueled by Community-Led Momentum
WASHINGTON - Californer -- As Men's Health Month 2025 ends, Men's Health Network (MHN) isn't just reflecting on engagement, it's recognizing a movement powered by people. This year, a groundswell of support emerged from MHN's own community of advocates, volunteers, and partners who took the message into their own hands and gave it momentum far beyond the organization's walls.
MHN helped frame the conversation, raising key issues like mental health, preventative care, and the Lifespan Gender Gap, but it was the organization's broader network that turned awareness into action.
"We're starting the conversation, but it's our community that's carrying it forward," said Jennifer Thompson, Vice President at MHN. "This movement is being driven by our network of advocates, partners, families, and everyday people who believe men's health deserves a seat at the table. The momentum we're seeing shows that men's health is no longer an afterthought, it's becoming a shared priority."

A Collective Voice for Men's Health
Throughout June, individuals and organizations across MHN's network stepped up to lead. They shared stories, created content, organized events, and amplified messaging across platforms, not because they were asked, but because they saw the importance of speaking out.
Influencers like @theblkwolf, @dadonpurpose, and @cartergood opened up about emotional strength, fatherhood, and building healthy habits. Health advocates including @ahealthypush, @mightywell, and @drtalkshealth posted educational resources that resonated with followers seeking guidance and connection. Meanwhile, voices like @sacredsons, @coachdereklovell, and @therealjdonnell challenged outdated stereotypes around masculinity, creating space for new conversations on mental well-being.
Community health organizations, hospitals, and government agencies like @tdhgov, @stjoeshealth, @baptistmemphis, and @fitfathers joined in, promoting Wear Blue Days locally and sharing critical information that helped bring men's health closer to home.

This was not a campaign built by promotion, it was one sustained by personal investment and shared purpose.
A Global Network with Local Roots
MHM 2025 also saw meaningful contributions from international allies. From South Africa's @health4menza to the U.K.'s @gmhprogram, advocates around the world reinforced that men's health is a global concern with deeply local impacts.
At the same time, proclamations from nearly 100 cities and states across the U.S., along with a robust presence at in-person events like the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting and the Memphis Health Summit, demonstrated that public support for men's health continues to grow both online and on the ground.
Looking Ahead: Building on Community Power
MHN will continue investing in its community-first model, supporting partner organizations, expanding its ambassador network, and advancing conversations around underrepresented topics like testicular cancer, fatherhood, chronic disease, and culturally relevant care.
