Focus on Men’s Health This Father’s Day Weekend

With all of the Juneteenth celebrations going on, don't forget that Sunday is also Father's Day. June is Men's Health Month, so while honoring dad, take some time to remind him about staying healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

After more than two years of interrupted lives and wondering what the next month would bring, the pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of many of our communities. That is why RER Consulting, in partnership with New Horizons Community Mental Health Center and Miami-Dade County, hosted a Mental Health & Wellness Community Day at JL (Joe) and Enid W. Demps Park in Miami, including a free yoga and mindfulness session led by Shante Haymore-Kearney.

• Use your benefitsCheck your health insurance for online health resources you may already have access to.
• Schedule activity ahead of timePlan your workouts and set up the details that let you win, including child care, food planning, and the right gear. Start with small goals. Simple changes are fine. Exercise is a lifelong practice, so start where you are and honor your body for what it can do and how far it has brought you.
