Why all the Mustaches in November?

Each year, November is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of men’s mental health and encouraging open conversations about emotional well-being. Around the world, organizations and communities come together to challenge the stigma that often prevents men from seeking help.

Movember is where men grow mustaches throughout the month to spark conversations about men’s health — including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer. What started as a funny way to raise awareness has lead to over 800 million dollars globally. Learn more here: https://ca.movember.com/

Beyond the campaign, Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month serves as an important reminder to check in — with our friends, and our loved ones. Ask someone how they’re really doing.
