In this episode, recorded earlier in the year during Mental Health Awareness Week, I meet with Sarah Coghlan, Global Director at Movember (@movember). Sarah has been at Movember since it formed back in 2003. From what started as a laugh between a few friends in a pub in Australia, has grown to be a foundation funding global projects in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and in recent years, mental health.

We speak about Movember’s journey and go into detail about the projects they fund. Their work centres around building protective factors so men are able to find a way of seeking help on terms they’re comfortable with and thus, hopefully never reach crisis point.

Sarah is armed with so much information, useful advice and talks passionately about how their projects might help you or someone you know. And with Movember only a few days away now, how about making this year the year you grow a mo’ and save a bro.
