About Movember<\/h3>\n

Join us every November as we support the focus on men’s health by promoting “Movember”. The Movember movement has really taken flight with a broader focus on men’s health, beyond the “Grow your Mo” challenge. This campaign raises awareness globally around prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health.<\/p>\n

To learn more about Movember, go to https:\/\/ca.movember.com\/.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are looking or someone to talk to, or for support, help is available.<\/a><\/p>\n

Be sure to check out some of the great activities happening around campus in support of Movember!<\/p>\n

Grow Your Mo
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start with a clean slate on Nov. 1 and see what you can grow through the month of November. We’ll be hosting a weekly photo contest \u2014 but it’s not about the whiskers, it’s about your photo! Anyone can win, we’ll be judging your creativity, not your handlebar curls. Need a marker or a prop to make a mo? That’s great! Every mo helps us raise awareness about men’s health.<\/a><\/p>\n

New research done at Brandon University, through the Centre for Critical Studies of Rural Mental Health<\/a>, suggests that a growing number of me do<\/em> want to talk about it. Learn more about men’s mental health and the resources available to you.<\/p>\n
