~ Movember Update ~ Halfway through the month and the tashes are coming along nicely! This month we have decided to grow the moustache (ridiculous I know), for a very important cause. Movember is about raising awareness around men's health issues. This isn’t just about growing a moustache; it’s about growing awareness. Encouraging conversations. Breaking stigmas. Here are some eye-opening stats: 👉 Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. 👉 Men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women. Check in with loved ones, speak about your troubles and lets support each other🗣️🗣️🗣️ If you're growing a 'stache or supporting in other ways this Movember, share your journey! Let’s normalize these conversations and make a difference. 🖤 Let’s support each other, one moustache at a time. Looking good boys!🥸 Scott Eveson Adam Marriott Assoc BIoR #Movember #MensHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Today’s colour for my selfie….vibrant orange!! If you see a man taking a photo wearing lipstick today, it may be because he’s Lip-Sticking It to women’s mental health issues 💄Challenging a man to do something so out-of-the-norm like wearing lipstick is not easy, so huge respect to the men who are proudly supporting their mothers, sisters, friends, co-workers (and all other women) today 💪 We can’t stress enough the importance of making a positive difference to the 1 in 2 women who are experiencing a mental health struggle. Today’s donations will have an impact on women’s mental health in three ways: 💄Mental health programs & initiatives 💄Support services and 💄Research Funds are allocated to the mental health gaps outlined in our annual Women’s Mental Health Research (link is in the comments).

Join Me in Supporting Mental Health at the NAMI Walk! I'm excited to share that I’ll be participating in the NAMI Walk to raise awareness and funds for mental health support, and I need your help! Mental health affects every one of us, whether directly or through a loved one, and it’s a cause close to my heart. Here’s why I’m asking you to support me: 1.

These programs provide a lifeline to individuals and families when they need it most. 3.

Show Solidarity: Whether you’ve experienced mental health challenges personally or through someone close to you, walking together sends a powerful message of support and compassion for everyone affected. Please consider donating or joining me for the walk.
