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.

Social Innovators Challenge - Scottish Action for Mental Health

Movember Funding to Date

Global funding AUD equivalent 10,492,242

What we seek to achieve

To support the development and trialling of innovative ideas that could lead to creative solutions that increase levels of social connections and feelings of belongingness for men; particularly those who are at greater risk of becoming socially isolated. These include key ‘at risk’ population groups including new fathers, unemployed men, divorced men and men of low socio economic status.

About the project

In late 2015, Movember released a three-phased funding opportunity within Australia, Canada, and the UK, that utilized an innovative approach to identifying and funding creative and non-traditional solutions that were co-designed by men to improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes through increased social connectivity.

The initiative was a direct response to findings from previously funded Movember research through beyondblue that highlighted an overall dissatisfaction for men, particularly in their middle years, with the quantity and quality of their friendships and elucidated the importance of strong social support networks to mitigate the associated risk factors of isolation and loneliness on depression, anxiety, and suicide.

The goal is to increase our understanding about what will engage men in healthier behaviour patterns, build positive relationships, and increase levels of social connections through the development, piloting and evaluation of innovative initiatives explicitly aimed at restoring and strengthening the social connections of men.

First Person Consulting has been engaged as the evaluation partner for this initiative.

Project Description:
The Changing Room has one goal – to promote men’s mental health and wellbeing using the lure, excitement and power of professional football. The Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) designed the mental health program specifically for men in their middle years (30-64) – a group that is particularly at risk in relation to suicide. The program consists of 12 weekly sessions, each two hours in length, led by The Changing Room Manager, for groups of 10-12 men.

Football terminology is applied to all parts of the programme: the 12-week (match) programme is split into four phases – pre-match, first half, second half, and post-match; and every session comprises 15 minute warm up, 90 minute activity, and 15 minutes of extra time. Men were encouraged to lead on devising the content of weekly sessions over the course of the program.

The vision for the Changing Room is to scale and deliver the program in every professional club in Scotland, and to take it to other parts of the UK. SAMH has the backing of The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). https://www.samh.org.uk/get-involved/physical-activity-and-sport/our-projects/the-changing-room/register-changing-room
