Movember: Supporting Men’s Mental Health

Movember is more than just growing moustaches—it's a global movement focused on changing the face of men’s health, including mental health and suicide prevention.

Every year, thousands of men face mental health challenges in silence. In Australia alone, three out of four suicides are men, yet many struggle to reach out for help due to stigma, social pressures, or fear of appearing weak.

Movember aims to break this silence by encouraging open conversations, raising awareness, and funding life-saving mental health programs. Whether it’s checking in with a mate, speaking to a mental health professional, or simply sharing your own experience, every step toward openness counts.

How You Can Get Involved:

• Grow a Mo: Spark conversations and raise funds.

• Move for Mental Health: Walk or run 60 km in November for the 60 men lost to suicide every hour worldwide.

• Reach Out: Ask a friend how they’re really doing—and listen.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Let’s use Movember as a reminder that it’s okay to not be okay—and it’s even more okay to ask for help.

Grow a mo, save a bro.
