Every year Movember shines a light on men’s health including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer.
But at its heart, it’s about connection. When men feel able to talk without fear or judgment, lives change.

More than a moustache. Movember isn’t just about growing facial hair. It’s about growing conversations.
Behind every moustache is a message to check in on friends, open up about how we’re really feeling, and make space for men’s mental health. #Movember #MensMentalHealth #CounsellingSupport

Bonfire Night can be exciting, but for many people with autism, ADHD, PTSD, or sensory sensitivities, it can also feel overwhelming.
