The Man Cave: Time to Huddle About Men's Health
According to the experts, it’s important for men to have a place of their own. The Man Cave is that place! Men watch the game on television and in the stadiums, but the real challenge is cheering for team “you” or team “Men”. The Empowering Communities Conference Man Cave is a time to relax and learn the plays for a healthy life. It’s a moment for men to flip from being the provider to being provided for. It’s a moment to hear from the experts. It’s a moment for men to ask questions about health they do not have the answers for or do not fully understand. Men of Mississippi let us extend our life by building a healthy playbook in the Man Cave.
Men of Mississippi come out and join the Man Cave!
