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 🙂

Discussing Important Men's Issues With the 'Movember Institute of Men's Health'

One Child. One Friend. 12+ Years, No Matter What.


We select children who could most benefit from a relationship with a long-term professional mentor.

We partner with community organizations, schools and foster care systems to help us meet children (ages 4 to 6) and families who could benefit most from a relationship with a Friend.

We exclusively focus on children who face enormous systemic barriers.

We hire and train full-time paid professional mentors called Friends.

A Friend‘s full-time job is to empower and support youth and their caregiver(s). Each Friend serves a roster of 8 children, dedicating 4 hours of professional mentorship to each child every week.

Moving mentorship out of the volunteer realm is key to getting the quality, consistency and commitment our children and their families deserve in the relationship.

We commit for the long term.

We commit to every child for the long term, from kindergarten through graduation. 12+ years, no matter what.

Our work is relationship-based, individualized and intentional.

Friends create meaningful experiences to explore each child's unique talents and interests. They also work 1-on-1 with each child to set age-appropriate goals and build critical life skills.

Aired June 14, 2026: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx interviews their Executive Director Jorie Das about all the ways this incredible organization is changing the lives of young people who need it most 🙂 We also discuss SummerFest, that's happening June 27 in Echo Park and will bring together nearly 300 children, youth, caregivers, and family members from across Los Angeles County.  They’re still looking for volunteers and community partners interested in supporting activities and activations for youth and families. Anyone interested can reach out to info@friendsla.org. Friends LA provides paid professional mentors who stay with youth for 12+ years, from kindergarten through high school graduation, helping children build long-term relationships, stability, and belonging.
