Movember 2026: Men’s Health matters – Mind, Body and Beyond

1^st November Men’s Mental Health and wellbeing

Movember is an annual campaign held throughout November to raise awareness of men’s health. It encourages men to look after their physical health, mental wellbeing and emotional health, while helping to break down stigma surrounding difficult conversations.

Participants often grow a moustache during the month to spark conversations about men’s health and raise money for related causes.

The four main areas of Movember:

Mental health and suicide prevention, encouraging men to talk about stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness and seek support when needed.

Prostate cancer – raising awareness, individual risk factors, symptoms that may need medical attention and conversations with health care professionals.

Testicular cancer – helping men understand testicular health and seek medical advice about any changes they may be experiencing.

Prevention and healthier lifestyles – promoting social connection, physical activity healthy habits and early action when health concerns arise.

3 ways to make Movember count

Start a conversation. Talk openly about mental health and physical health.

Take action. Arrange a health appointment if you have a concern or have been putting one off.

Stay connected. Catch up with friends, family members, colleagues, not just during November but throughout the year.

Let’s break the stigma around mental health, raise awareness of physical health conditions and encourage positive choices that help men live healthier, happier lives.

Whether you grow a moustache, start a conversation, organise a fundraiser or simply ask someone how they’re doing, every action can make a difference.
