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, Programmes
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, Programmes.

About the project

Movember SpeakEasy has an overarching aim of shifting attitudes and providing men the knowledge and tools to seek help earlier, the program ultimately aims to reduce the number of men reaching crisis.

First and foremost, the program is setting out to achieve three key social and mental outcomes for its participants:
1. Normalise challenges: Educate attendees of the frequency of life’s challenges, to increase knowledge, awareness an acceptance of what they or those around them might be going through
2. Encouraging help-seeking: Change attitudes and willingness to reach out, share and support
3. Build capacity: Arm attendees with the tools to more effectively support their friends, family and
community; and increase their social connections, confidence and willingness to talk, especially when times are tough.
