Father's Day is this weekend, and June is also Men's Health Month, so it's an ESPECIALLY good time to put a spotlight on Men's health issues. The Movember Institute of Men's Health is a global research and advocacy hub that unites experts to address critical men’s health issues.

Led by Professor Simon Rice, it accelerates medical research into real-world, actionable solutions focusing on mental health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and health literacy. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.


Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. They fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.

Core Focus Areas
Mental Health & Suicide Prevention: Designing gender-specific communication strategies and youth programs that engage men directly.
Prostate & Testicular Cancer: Funding clinical research and translating breakthroughs into better patient care.
Global Outreach: Working to improve health services in rural, small-town, and indigenous communities to bridge health literacy gaps.

Aired June 21, 2026: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx interviews Dr. Joseph Kilgallen, a Research Fellow at the Movember Institute of Men's Health. Joseph is a social scientist whose work focuses on masculinity, men's health, and the social factors that influence whether men seek support for issues ranging from mental health to cancer screening and prevention. They are doing such great work at this organization to spread awareness and COMMUNICATION about these important issues.


PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DISCUSS THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES WITH THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE. THE MEN YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT AND WANT TO BE HERE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE 🙂
