GLOBALLY, ON AVERAGE, 1 MAN DIES BY SUICIDE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.

If you are having thoughts of suicide, call the Canada Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566. If you are in distress or just need to talk, please find your local distress line here.
If you're ever worried that someone's life is in immediate danger, call 911 or go directly to emergency services.

The rate of male suicide is alarmingly high: in Canada, 3 out of 4 suicides are by men.

We can’t sit back and accept this.

Movember looks at mental health through a male lens, focusing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion.

We’re working towards a world where men take action to be mentally well, and are supported by those around them.

 

By 2030 we’ll reduce the rate of male suicides by 25%.

Help us get there.

WE’RE TAKING ACTION

The issue of suicide is incredibly complex. But we know this: improving overall mental health and helping men establish better social connections can reduce the risk of suicide.
And so that’s our mission. To get there, we’re uniting experts, funding bold new approaches and embracing fresh perspectives. By 2030, we hope to reduce the rate of male suicide by 25%.

How we’re going to win the fight

1. Education

Helping men and boys to stay mentally healthy, build strong social connections and take action early when times are tough.

2. Conversations that matter

Working toward a world where men and boys are comfortable having conversations about the big things in life.

3. Services that work for men

We know the needs of men, and we’re working to make sure that services are designed with those needs in mind.

4. Bright minds, brought together

We’re funding the most innovative projects, and when we know something works, we share that knowledge globally.

5. Community first

Men need to be able to access support in their communities and where they’re comfortable. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

6. Advocating for all men

We’re forcing governments to understand the issues that men are facing, and we’re demanding action.

“We’re alarmed by the increasing number of men who take their own lives around the world. We are working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to reach out to others for support when they’re struggling.”
- Paul Villanti
Executive Director, Programs

We’ve funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects in Canada and around the world. Here’s a snapshot of our work in mental health and suicide prevention.

Local impact

We’re making strides in Canada with these mental health and suicide prevention projects, in collaboration with our local health partners.

Social Innovators Challenge

The Social Innovators Challenge funds creative programs aimed at restoring and strengthening the social connections of men, particularly those at risk for loneliness and isolation.  Current funding supports the scaling and piloting of innovative projects in three markets: Australia, Canada and the UK.

Work 2 Give: Indigenous Men

Work 2 Give is a correctional employment initiative that supports Indigenous incarcerated men to create items such as furniture, knitted items, cultural items, toys and children’s bus shelters, that are donated to First Nations communities that need them. Men build skills, communities receive support and a greater sense of reciprocity and engagement occurs between the men and the community.

Dad HERO

Dad HERO educates incarcerated fathers on proper and effective parenting and the importance of a positive father-child relationship. The program aims to increase incarcerated men’s confidence in their parenting and build resiliency towards a successful family reunification upon release.

Projects around the world

We’re reaching men all over the world, promoting healthy actions and behavior.

Making Connections Initiative

With the help of Movember, five community-based coalitions are working with either men and boys of color, or military service members, veterans, and their families, in rural and urban communities throughout the United States. This work involves connecting with men and boys in places where they spend time, through activities that they enjoy. Key to the initiative is helping men and boys cope with trauma and stress by strengthening social connections.

Family Man

Family Man uses the latest parenting strategies that support happier homes and better mental health. We created Family Man to get more fathers actively involved in parenting programs. By equipping fathers with the right tools, especially in tough times, we’re aiming to help men live healthier and happier lives.

Farmstrong
