Men's Health Initiative of BC
Welcome to Aboutmen.ca, the website of the Men’s Health Initiative of British Columbia (MHIBC). We created this website as a one-stop resource for men to explore important health issues and hear from a variety of experts. This site has been developed by passionate people with one thing in common: we’re men, and we’re committed to men’s health.
The men’s health perspective focuses on understanding men’s unique health needs, delivering services that are appropriate and accessible to men, and evaluating new strategies for improving men’s health.

Self-Help Health
Most of us have used the BC Health Guide to look up information, but a new service exists online - a website that contains videos to help you find the answers you need. The website, www.healthchoices.ca has over 700 videos to guide online users to better health. They cover topics ranging from inspiring healthy living through things such as medical services, dental services, corporate health, lifestyle, anti-aging, fitness, complementary medicine, etc. to medical specialty videos including topics such as traumatic brain injury, cardiovascular health, men's mental health, men's sexual health, diabetes - did you know that exercise is the number one way to prevent and manage diabetes? - and a variety of other topics.
