Movember: Supporting Men’s Health

Movember (1 - 30 November) is the perfect time to highlight men’s health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer.

Services and resources available in south east Melbourne include:

The Men’s Table offers monthly gatherings in Frankston and Port Melbourne, providing a safe, judgment-free space for men to share and support each other. Men’s Table members also receive LivingWorks ASIST suicide prevention training, strengthening peer support networks.

Movember Conversations

Movember Conversations gives practical guidance on how to support men who might be struggling. Friends, family, and colleagues can all use this interactive tool to gain the skills and confidence to approach challenging conversations with the men in their lives.
