Summary of the session.
Historically, women have tended to be the caregivers and gatekeepers for the health of their family members. But with changing dynamics of the family and greater general awareness of health risks, more men are taking ownership of their own health and well-being. Are you one of them? This seminar, delivered by a male facilitator, is designed to help men understand the importance of being in control of their health and offers tips and strategies for improving and maintaining their health ... all from a “no bull” male perspective.
