Globally, we lose one man to suicide every 60 seconds.

Movember is encouraging fans to go ‘beyond the banter’ and to check in on a mate to ensure less men die for this largely preventable reason.

GET SUPPORT

GIVE SUPPORT

GO BEYOND BANTER
Being a man of more words is not about dialing up the banter. It is about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.

If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point.
