Men’s Health Awareness Month
Throughout The Bahamas, men’s health is a significant yet overlooked concern, with many men and boys suffering in silence and refusing to seek help.
Mental Health
For many men, work stress, financial pressures, and relationship breakdowns often contribute to poor mental health, which can worsen without effective treatment. However, due to a fear of being seen as weak, men generally avoid discussing their emotions and reaching out for support.
Physical Health
Like mental health, many of the physical health issues affecting men can be prevented or managed with early detection, but due to stigma, they are often unwilling to promptly seek help from healthcare providers.

Congratulations you all for a job well done on the first ever Virtual Ball. The event was a mammoth task to execute, but the results were phenomenal.
Who would have thought a virtual ball would have reached so many sponsors that unselfishly supported the mission and vision of the Cancer Society of The Bahamas financially during this critical time of the Corona Virus pandemic.
Thank you Lovern Wildgoose and Nicole Leary-Imhoff, as well as your Committee, as you all have proven that your time and talents are priceless. This year’s event has set the standard and provided a blueprint for next year’s event to be even bigger and better.
Of course we could never repay you for all that you do for the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, but if the world becomes a better place tomorrow, it will happen because of volunteers like you.
