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.

Enhancing Psychological Resiliency in Older Men Facing Retirement: Testing a Meaning-Centered Group Intervention

Movember Funding to Date

CAD 575,255

What we seek to achieve

To implement, evaluate, and disseminate a group-based, meaning-centered, psychological intervention designed to enhance mental health and well-being and reduce the onset of depression and suicide risk in men facing retirement.

Country: Canada
Implemented by: Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University
Project start date: October 2013
Project Status: Completed July 2016

About the project

Groups of 10-12 soon-to-be or newly-retired men over the age of 55 meet with group facilitators in a community centre to participate in weekly sessions of Meaning-Centered Men's Groups. The group sessions aim to enhance camaraderie and a sense of community among men struggling with the transition to retirement, and focus on discussing retirement-related challenges and opportunities, including ways of finding meaning in one's daily activities, relationships, and in the changes associated with growing older.

This project aims to help counteract the perceived loss of identity and other negative health effects experienced by some men in the face of retirement, by enhancing acceptance, growth, and a sense of meaning in the transition through this life event. These groups will be disseminated across Canada and beyond, in order to help enhance mental health and well-being and reduce risk for the onset of depression and suicide risk in soon-to-be or newly-retired men.
