We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.

Prostate Cancer

"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.

Men's Health

"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs

Mental health and suicide prevention

“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.

Testicular Cancer

“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programs.

About the project

'Having the Conversation' webpages on the beyondblue website host a suite of digital resources which address the barriers and promote the skills for talking about mental health difficulties. The resources are tailored to a range of target audiences, including young people, parents, older adults, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and people talking with health professionals. The resources promote the benefits of conversation, and explain 'how to' engage in effective and emotionally supportive conversations. Release of the project resources was supported by a coordinated marketing and dissemination strategy.
A Working Group was established containing expertise in stigma, help seeking, behaviour change, and digital marketing.
A participatory design approach was taken to the development of the resources. Consultation with over 200 people with experiences of anxiety and depression, and their family and friends, identified the barriers to talking about mental health. This led to the collaborative development of a series of key messages about 'how to' have an effective conversation which addressed the identified barriers to talking. Resource content was then based on these key messages, or consultation participants were filmed explaining their conversation tips for what helps, and what doesn't, when talking about their anxiety and depression.
