Whilst this feature emphasising men’s health is appearing near the end of the month-long Movember campaign, it is a reminder that mens mental health in particular, and the premise of the Movember campaign, should be a focus 365 days of the year.
To help men live happier, healthier, longer lives.
So what is Movember?
Movember is a global movement dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health issues.
Movember, which blends “moustache” and “November,” is an annual event that focuses on men’s physical and mental health concerns, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Participants of the Movember movement, known as ‘Mo Bros,’ pledge to grow moustaches throughout the month and engage in fundraising activities to support men’s health programs.
The local community annually embraces this initiative, with several individuals you know and love, sporting a lip caterpillar, sparking conversations about the importance of men’s health.
Movember’s impact extends beyond moustaches. The movement promotes an open dialogue about men’s health and encourages men to seek regular check-ups and support when needed.
It has grown into a global phenomenon, with millions of participants raising funds and awareness for men’s health causes each November.
