Men often find it hard to talk about how they feel. That silence can make stress, anxiety, or low mood feel heavier — and it can stop people from getting help. Brovember supports programs in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Start conversations early, check in on mates, and make support normal.
What helps
- Check in regularly: Ask how they’re really doing — then listen.
- Keep moving: Short daily activity can boost mood and sleep.
- Talk to someone you trust: A friend, family member, mentor, therapist, or GP.
- Remove the stigma: Feeling low isn’t weakness — help is available.
