My motivation

Mental health has affected me and my family personally and is something close to my heart. I’ve been participating in Movember for 15 years now, raising a lot of money, but more importantly for a month every year I get people thinking about their mental health.

The work Movember has done hasn’t just been great for those truly suffering but as a society we are a lot more open to talking about it. I’ve known men who don’t go to the doctors unless it’s a last option. There’s still jokes on tiktok and reels about men learning to bury their emotions from a young age. I’ve still seen us lose men, who we didn’t need to.

Now as a father I make sure my son knows that he’s allowed to have emotions and to feel safe having them, and yet he’s still been told that “boys don’t cry” from kindy teachers. I’ve done so much to try and correct any mistakes I’ve made with my elder 2 boys so they won’t feel the burden of their emotions, and to be open to talking too. Whether it’s just saying yes, I go see a therapist, or telling them it’s ok to feel.

I support the programs that Movember continue to fund and I’m glad I can take part in helping them achieve their goals, which in turn helps me achieve my own goals, because everyone should be able to feel comfortable being open about their mental health journeys.

I appreciate that just seeing someone with a mo on their face in the month of November can start a conversation or just brings up a thought that support is out there.
