Movember (November) is an important month for men’s health. Not only physical but also mental health.
Suicide amongst men is increasing and the Movember foundation is focusing a light on ways that men can reach out for assistance.
“Be a man of more words” is encouraging men to create more social connections with friends and family to decrease their risk of mental health concerns and suicide. Being more open and honest about your feelings doesn’t come easily to everyone, however, taking the first steps is an important part of your road to better mental health.
If you, or someone you know is at a crisis point, help is available. You can contact organizations including:
• 1737 Need to talk (1737)
• The Suicide Crisis Helpline (0508 828 865)
• Lifeline (0800 543 354)
Don’t leave it until it’s too late.
