SUMMARY:MAX Ottawa: Spill the Beans
DESCRIPTION:June is Mens Health Month and in honour of this\, MAX is hosting a series of community discussion groups for dudes in the national capital region. So we invite you to join us and some local experts to spill the beans\, and chat about health. \n\n\n\nMental Health Hygiene  \n\n\n\nWe brush our teeth\, we shower\, and we comb our hair. Those are the little things we do to take care of our bodies\, but what are we doing to take care of our minds? Mental Health can be a big challenge sometimes. But sometimes it’s also about all the little things we do to stay well.
