The most valuable gift a father can give to his family is the gift of time. One of the best ways to spend more time with loved ones is to stay healthy.
With both Father’s Day and Men’s Health Month in June, it’s the perfect moment to raise awareness. Our Men’s Health resources offer tips, events, and information to guide conversations around prostate health, early detection, and overall well-being. This blog will provide fast facts and tips to help you get started.
Opening Up About Prostate Conditions
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, but it often has no symptoms in the early stages. That’s why regular screenings, early detection, and understanding risk factors are very important
- What is a risk factor? – A risk factor is something that increases the likelihood of developing a disease like cancer. Age, race, and family history are all important risk factors in prostate disease.
For example, according to a 2025 report from the American Cancer Society, Black men have nearly a 70% higher chance of developing prostate cancer during their lifetime compared to white men. The good news is that if caught early, prostate cancer can usually be treated before it spreads.
Creating a Support System for the Fathers and Men in Our Life
One of the best ways to honor the fathers and men in our lives is by creating a strong support system where they feel seen, understood, and comfortable sharing their health concerns.
Talking openly with men about prostate health can be difficult, but it’s key for early detection. Here are some ways to encourage and support these conversations:
- Create a safe space – Start by creating a space of trust, empathy, and understanding where men feel comfortable talking about their health without fear of judgment or embarrassment.
- Educate yourself – Understanding prostate conditions, including symptoms, research options, and prevention, can help you share accurate information and support men in talking about their health.
- Choose the right time and place – Pick a relaxed, distraction-free setting where everyone feels comfortable, allowing for open and uninterrupted conversation.
Be a good listener – Practice active listening by giving your full attention, maintaining eye contact, and using supportive body language. Instead of jumping in with solutions or opinions, focus on truly hearing what the other person is saying. - Normalize the topic – Make it clear that talking about prostate health is normal and important. Share facts, stories from other men, and explain how early detection and treatment can save lives.
- Express empathy and understanding – Acknowledge that it’s okay to feel worried or unsure about prostate conditions. Let the men in your life know their feelings are valid and that you’re there to listen and support them.
- Provide resources – Share easy-to-understand materials, websites, or support groups. Point your loved ones to reliable sources about prostate health, but don’t overwhelm—share based on their comfort level and interest.
- Share personal experiences – If you or someone you know has experience with prostate conditions, talking about it can help. You can also mention positive stories from others to encourage hope and openness.
