Men’s health and wellbeing will be explored by HSBC Bermuda with a panel of speakers on Tuesday delving into topics including stress management, resilience and healthier lifestyles.

The event, coming ahead of International Men’s Day on November 19, runs from noon until 2pm on the sixth floor of the bank’s Harbourview Centre on Front Street in Hamilton, with a light lunch provided for guests.

“Taking Care of the Whole Man: Mind, Body & Wellbeing” will look into creating supportive environments where men feel comfortable seeking help and discussing wellbeing.

Speakers are Ernest Peets Jr, a therapist and cofounder of the men’s counselling group Masc; Cyril H. Whitter III, a cofounder and instructor at Aries Sports Centre; Dion Furbert, the owner and director of the ModernGent spa and lounge; and the family physician Henry Dowling, of Associates in Integrated Health Bermuda and host of Medical Radio.

Greg Garnier, the HSBC Bermuda chief executive, said: “By bringing together panellists with experience in healthcare, family services, counselling and the community, this event will offer a range of perspectives on how men and boys can be supported more effectively.”

Attendees, who can register by e-mailing events@hsbc.bm, were asked to use the Front Street entrance.

The talk will be moderated by Lamar Hamme, the bank’s international wealth and premium banking head of business risk and strategic transformation.

Mr Hamme said: “We’ll consider why men may delay addressing health concerns or asking for support, particularly when they feel pressure to appear strong and in control.”
