Changing the face of men’s mental health

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, 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 has embraced this initiative, with several local businesses, and individuals already taking part. Moustaches of all shapes and sizes can be seen around town, sparking conversations about the importance of men’s health.

For those who can’t grow the mo, you can join thousands of Aussie Mo Bros and Mo Sistas for the 60km Move challenge.

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.
