Men's Health Partners

Countries

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, 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

While language varies across countries and communities, Social and Emotional Wellbeing [SEWB] is the foundation for physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health for Indigenous people. It is a holistic concept which results from a network of relationships between individuals, family, kin, and community. It also recognises the importance of connection to land, culture, spirituality, and ancestry, and how these affect the individual.

Connecting and engaging in Indigenous culture has been shown to be protective of physical and mental health and wellbeing and is now recognised in national policies.

For the past 10 years in Australia, Canada, the USA and Aotearoa New Zealand, Movember has invested in Indigenous SEWB research and piloted real world delivery programs, focussing on connection to culture in order to improve men’s health.

We seek to contribute to improving the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous men and their communities. We believe that a significant investment in long-term funding for Indigenous men’s SEWB has the potential to have a transformative impact on the lives of Indigenous men, women, and their communities.

We are proposing an approach that builds power and capacity within Indigenous communities through a set of four mutually reinforcing initiatives:
- Indigenous Men’s Health: A Community Empowerment Initiative
- Indigenous Men’s Wellbeing Innovation Initiative
- Reclaiming our Voice: Profiling the Strengths of Indigenous Men
- Indigenous Brotherland Network

The first two of these four initiatives will be achieved by providing grant funding and capacity building opportunities:
- to empower Indigenous communities to develop, implement and evaluate place-based strategies to improve SEWB under the Indigenous Men’s Health: A Community Empowerment Initiative, and
- to empower Indigenous-led organisations to develop, implement and evaluate innovative programs/interventions to improve SEWB under the Indigenous Men’s Wellbeing Innovation Initiative.
