🩺💜 JUNE IS MEN’S HEALTH MONTH & NATIONAL PTSD AWARENESS MONTH 💜🩺
The Conference of Grand Masters Prince Hall Masons, Inc. encourages all men, and especially our Brothers, fathers, sons, veterans, and community leaders, to make their health a priority this month.
Strength is not measured solely by what a man can endure in silence. True strength is demonstrated when a man takes responsibility for his physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Many men face challenges related to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Too often, these battles are fought alone. We must change that narrative.
As Prince Hall Masons, we are taught to care for one another, support the distressed, and improve ourselves in mind, body, and spirit. Seeking medical care, discussing mental health concerns, and reaching out for support are not signs of weakness—they are acts of wisdom and courage.
This month, we encourage every Brother and every man to:
✔ Schedule your annual health screenings
✔ Know your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar)
✔ Prioritize physical fitness and nutrition
✔ Check on a Brother, friend, or family member
✔ Seek help if you are struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, or emotional stress
✔ Remember that you do not have to carry your burdens alone
Helpful Resources:
• National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
• National Center for PTSD (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs)

• Men’s Health Network
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Men’s Health Resources

Together, we can build stronger men, stronger families, and stronger communities.
