Speakers:
Join us for a powerful Movember conversation that goes beyond the moustache and into the real issues impacting men’s health. This community panel brings together healthcare professionals, mental health advocates, and lived-experience voices to shine a light on the challenges men face when it comes to physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. From early detection and prevention, to stigma, stress, and access to care, we’ll explore how communities can support men in living healthier, longer, and more connected lives. Let’s grow the conversation, break the silence, and encourage men to take charge of their health—not just in November, but all year long.
