Movember.

November is men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer awareness month.

-Males account for 75% of suicides in Canada
-Men are 3 times less likely to get help through mental health services
-1 in 4 men are impacted by mental health illnesses
-43% of men aged 19-29 suffer with severe depression
-1 in 7 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime

These statistics are what men face and it needs to be known it’s okay to not be okay and support is available.

The Fergus Whalers Junior Hockey Club acknowledge the stigma around these issues men face, we recommend to reach out for help if needed and know that you are never alone.
