Reposting this moment from on TikTok because it speaks to a truth so many men carry in silence.

Movember isn’t just about moustaches, it’s about the pain men are told to hide, the trauma that goes unspoken, and the courage it takes to say, ‘This happened to me.’

If this brings something up for you, please know this: your emotions are valid, your story matters, and you never have to navigate this alone.

Support is here:

This Movember, let’s grow more than a moustache.
Let’s grow space for men to speak, to feel, and to heal. 💙🧔‍♂️

Happy International Men’s Day! 💙
Today we celebrate the strength, compassion, and resilience of men everywhere. True masculinity isn’t about being invulnerable, it’s about empathy, respect, and showing up for others and yourself.

Tomorrow, we’re continuing the conversation with a panel discussion on men’s mental health and the stereotypes that surround it. 🧠💬

📅 Date: Tomorrow 20/11/25
⏰ Time: 4:00 – 6:00 PM
📍 Room 412, Union Building

Join us as we break down stigma, share experiences, and encourage open, healthy conversations. Every voice matters. 💪

It’s ❤️

This year’s theme, “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” highlights the importance of ensuring everyone can reach the help they need, especially during times of crisis.

We are here to provide a safe, welcoming space where students can talk openly and find support from their peers. Whether you’re struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or just need someone to listen, you are never alone.

Let’s keep breaking the stigma, raising awareness, and supporting one another💚

Let’s talk about Black mental health 💚
Breaking the stigma starts with open conversations, education, and compassion. Mental health matters in every community. Let’s normalise seeking help. It’s okay to not be okay
