The Movember Foundation - Rhett Corker

Wednesday, 9 November 2016 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

Today on Brainwaves we talk to Rhett Corker, the Men's Health Program Manager at The Movember Foundation. Each November, men all around the world are challenged to grow a mustache in order to raise money and awareness for three key areas of men's health: testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. Rhett tells us about how the foundation evolved and some of the new initiatives it has started, as well as the role masculinity plays in speaking up about health problems. If you'd like to join the Movember cause, you can find more information at the Movember Australia Facebook page or donate at au.movember.com

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
