CMHE
Men and women have different needs and challenges when it comes to health education.
Men’s Health Network is the pioneer in providing a Certification in Men’s Health Education (CMHE). The 13-module course is intended for healthcare professionals and peer leaders who are interested in devoting their time and energy to bettering the lives of men.
On average men are living about six years less than women. While biology plays a role, the Gender Lifespan Gap is, in part, due to health seeking behaviors and lifestyle choices. With the help of a dedicated CMHE instructor working with men and boys at places like community health centers, schools, places of worship, and community gatherings, they can learn improved life skills and healthy behaviors.
CMHE COURSE
The CMHE course focuses on what and why the Lifespan Gender Gap is widening and offers techniques on how to best engage and equip males with information and strategies to improve their health and prevent premature loss of life. Areas of focus include:
- Cardiovascular Disease Risk
