Movember goals
This month is all about focusing on the major challenges men face in their health, through awareness, research and support.
The founders hope that every mustache grown and dollar donated will start a conversation that can make a difference.
There’s often a stigma surrounding men’s health – physical and mental – and Movember wants to show men that it’s okay to talk about it openly.
Movember promotes regular health checks, self-exams and education so men can take action before it’s too late.
It also encourages actions, such as cancer screenings, where early detection can make a world of difference.
Reducing suicide rates is another key focus, as Movember advocates for greater access to mental health care by funding programs and creating campaigns that reduce the stigma around seeking help.
How can women help?
Log in to Movember.com as a team captain or join an existing team.
You can also organize a Movember-themed event, or raise money and inspire people to donate.
Take to social media to spread the word about men’s health and where to find mental health support.
And always encourage the men in your life to take their health seriously and get regular checkups or talk to someone if you know they’re struggling.
