Movember, also known as November, raises awareness for men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and suicide prevention while recognizing everything these brave and selfless men all around the world do for us. When men’s health is at risk, families, and communities are affected.
The Movember movement was initiated in 2003 as a result of a discussion over a beer in a pub in Melbourne, Australia. The Movember movement was symbolized by men growing their mustaches over the month of November getting friends and family to donate to the cause.
At moods tea, in support of this great cause, we dedicate November to recognizing the importance of men’s mental health. This is critical as 4 in 5 suicides in the US are men. Also due to how we grew up, talking about mental health is not men’s favorite topic. We want to focus on men’s issues from a men’s lens. Moods tea promotes focusing on the prevention and early intervention of men’s mental issues. Also, we want men to know help is out there, just reach it.
