Movember is a global health movement of over 6 million men and women focused on positively changing men's behaviors, challenging norms of what it means to be a man and improving the systems and settings that men interact with. In addition to tackling key health issues faced by men, Movember is working to encourage men to stay healthy in all areas of their life, with a focus on men staying socially connected and becoming more open to discussing their health and significant moments in their lives. "What started as a simple conversation sparked by a moustache has transformed into a global health movement that continues to break down the barriers surrounding men's health and create long-term impact," said Mark Hedstrom, Movember's US Country Director. The organization welcomes its celebrated symbol, the moustache, to men's faces everywhere to bring awareness to the global men's health crisis and initiate important conversations to remove the stigma around men's health issues.

‘You might have had a bad day and don’t want to come home and put that on your family. As a young girl, it was a dream of hers to do one with her dad. When she walked out of a session where students were asked to talk about what they were getting their dads for Father’s Day, she was excluded from school. The first 10 minutes are always the toughest, trying to find that flow, but then I get that feeling of a weight being lifted. In today’s more thoughtful climate, it feels less intrusive to ask her about her experiences. ‘It’s not that being masculine is the problem, and the charity is not asking men to change the way they are, but it’s about being more open,’ she explains. ‘We can speak about mental health in a more positive way. And her town’s local newspaper wrote about her dad’s death with such insensitivity that her family fought to get the article pulled: ‘I feel like a lot of my childhood was robbed of me. Katy Martins was 12 in 2008 when she lost her dad Jim to suicide. ‘When I’m running, a part of me feels like I’m with him.’ When preparing for the marathon, she did her longest training run in the same place. Could I have been a better daughter?

You've probably seen men going a bit hairier than usual in November. Why? Some say No-Shave November, others say Movember. What's the difference?

If you have men in your life who have struggled with other ailments, including mental health issues, grow the ‘stache or get out and push yourself to show them you care. Whether you have a strict dress code at work, have a partner who doesn’t like the look or feel of facial hair, or you hate the itch of growing hair, that doesn’t mean you can’t do your part to fight for the men in your life. For Movember, the rules are to ensure that everyone is dedicated to being good sports by starting in the same place and conducting themselves admirably. Get people to support you and raise money with your sweat and hard work. If you or anyone you know has had prostate cancer, ditch the grooming and donate the money to No-Shave November while growing a wicked-awesome face mane. In 2006, the four co-founders established an official Australian charity, the Movember Foundation, and adopted the slogan “Give Prostate Cancer a Kick in the Arse.” Today, the group focuses on all men’s health, physical and mental, and have created the official tagline “Changing the face of men’s health.” Undeterred, the two founders convinced 30 of their friends to join them in bringing the mustache back. Of course, in the early 2000s, only Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot were allowed to wear lip rugs without the ridicule of their friends. [sign up to participate](https://no-shave.org/participate/), you can create a competition between you and your fellow No-Shavers to get your community involved. The point is that you want to collect as much as possible. In 2007, the Chicago-based patriarch of the Hill family, Matthew Hill, succumbed to colon cancer. While it may look like they’ve decided that grooming is no longer necessary, they very well may be making a statement of solidarity to a man in their life suffering from cancer.

- Employers should consider the neurodiversity of their employees and offer a range of ways for assistance to be accessed. - A good first step is to open the discussion and encourage conversation regarding mental health. At the ages of 45 to 64, some men will be dealing with chronic or major illness and many will begin to have a sense of their own mortality. The aim is to increase knowledge regarding male cancers and to start conversations about men’s mental health. This figure may be surprising to many employers who would be forgiven for thinking suicide is more common in younger people. The latest figures released in September 2022 show that around three quarters of suicides are male, and since 2010, the highest suicide rates each year have been in males aged 45 to 64 years.
