November is quickly coming to an end, which also means we’re wrapping up Men’s Health Awareness Month. Many of our Practus team members are growing out their beards for No Shave November while others are participating in activities to promote awareness through Movember. Overall, the main reason this month exists is to reduce the stigma around talking about men’s health. Men live an average of 5 years less than women, and part of that is due to preventable deaths related to prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. So, in this final week of November, talk. Talk about your health. Talk about your loved one’s health. Talk to your doctor. If you’re 45 years old, you should already be having discussions of PSA testing with your doctor to screen for prostate cancer. Early detection is key to improving the impact of treatment. Join us in donating to support men’s health or access free resources at Movember.com and No-shave.org #practuslaw #thepractusway #menshealthawareness #menshealth #movember #noshavenovember

1 week of the fake mo at work! 💪 Whilst this has created plenty of conversation to date and has made a lot of people laugh, Men's Health is no joke. Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides. The Movember foundation provides funding to several men's health initiatives and programmes which help to work towards reducing inequities in men's health. You can donate to the Movember foundation through my page here: https://lnkd.in/gd74SvGx Or you can choose to donate to one of our other mo-members in the Port Otago team! #menshealth #movember2023

It's #Movember this month, and we're dedicated to joining the Mo Community, raising awareness, and supporting this crucial cause. Did you know that 1 in 5 Australian men will face a prostate cancer diagnosis in their lifetime? Men are, on average, passing away 4 years earlier than women, often due to preventable reasons. Moreover, over 6 men die by suicide each day in Australia, with males comprising 75% of these tragic cases worldwide. Every year, we say goodbye to too many brothers, fathers, mates, grandfathers, partners, husbands, and sons due to mental health issues and cancers. However, discussing men's health remains among the most stigmatised subjects, leading to hesitancy in conversation. But for our loved ones, staying silent is no longer an option. #Movember stands as an annual campaign and NGO uniquely positioned to address this global crisis. Sharing content on men's health within your network, participating in advocacy campaigns, and supporting the cause through donations allows each of us to make a meaningful difference. For more information about the cause, visit: https://lnkd.in/gPiT9E9 To make a donation, click here: https://lnkd.in/g5kgY5g #movember #november #movember2023 #moustache #menshealth #menshealthawareness #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #prostatecancerawareness #prostatecancer #suicideprevention #mentalhealthmatters #testicularcancer #mobro #mosister #mocommunity #graphicdesign #adobecreativesuite #design #designstudio #designconsultant #micio #micioptyltd #miciomelbourne #miciodesign

Did You Know....November is Movember! Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. It is a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, "mo", and "November". The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health." By encouraging men (whom the charity refers to as "Mo Bros") to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Using the moustache as the driving symbol of the movement, Movember focuses on the three key areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. Since inception, the Movember Foundation has raised $837 million and funded over 1,200 projects in more than 20 countries. Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression, in Australia and New Zealand. In 2007, events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan and the United States. As of 2011, Canadians were the largest contributors to the Movember charities of any nation. In 2010, Movember merged with the testicular cancer event Tacheback. In 2012, the Global Journal listed Movember as one of the world's top 100 NGOs (non-government organization). #movember #dei #DEIU #PartnersPersonnelInAction #knowledge #partnerspersonnel #Tacheback #culture #awareness #menshealthmonth

Did you know that you could be the hero a child needs? By becoming a living liver donor, you have the power to transform a child's life. Here's how you can make a difference: 1. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬: If you're in good health, without chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension, you could be an ideal donor. 2. 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: Donors typically range from 18-55 years old, but assessments are done on a case-by-case basis. 3. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐁𝐌𝐈: A healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) is important to minimize complications during and after surgery. 4. 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫: Non-smokers or those willing to quit are preferred to ensure optimal liver health. 5. 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Being mentally and emotionally prepared for the donation and recovery process is crucial. 6. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦: A strong support network can greatly assist in your recovery journey. Becoming a living donor is a selfless act that provides children with a second chance at life, giving them the opportunity to grow and thrive. If you meet these criteria and feel inspired to help, reach out to our centre to learn more. Let's make Organ Donor Awareness Month count by spreading the word and encouraging more life-saving donations. Together, we can give these young patients the gift of a brighter future. 💙💚 #OrganDonorAwarenessMonth #LiverTransplant #PediatricTransplant #LivingDonor #SaveALife #HealthcareHeroes #SouthAfrica #OrganDonation

We're fundraising for men’s health, and no, it's not just about growing a moustache or beard this Movember... although you may see some surprising whiskers on your next WT teams call this month. Movember is the leading global charity changing the face of men’s health. They exist to stop men dying too young by tackling some of the most complex health issues facing men today – mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. If you want to get involved, more the merrier, and donations are most appreciated by following this link: https://lnkd.in/gckRqhbH There are lots of ways you can get involved and fundraise for men's health… 1. Grow a mo: Even if you can’t grow a showstopper, don’t worry: the worst moustaches start the best conversations. 2. Make a mo-ve: Run or walk 60kms over the month of Movember. That’s 60kms for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every hour, across the world. 3. Host a mo-ment: Rally a crew and do something fun. Hosting is all about having a good time for a good cause. 4. Mo your own way: A choose-your-own-adventure challenge, epic in scope and scale. You set the limits and chase them down. #movember #menshealth
