November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.

There is still a stigma around men's mental health. Some men might still feel as if they are expected to hide their emotions, however, acknowledging a mental health condition does not show a sign of a lack of masculinity.

Each November men are encouraged to break the stigma and talk about their mental health and many men grow moustaches to help raise money and awareness for men's mental health issues including su***de.
