Speaking up about men’s health
Afrocentric Group joined the Movember Global Campaign, also known as No-shave November, and was part of a webinar in collaboration with the Sanlam Group.
Movember was first established in 2003 by a group of friends in Australia who wanted to promote awareness and raise funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health challenges.
It has grown into a global movement with millions of people participating and supporting the cause. Men’s mental health is one of the key wellness risks and is prioritised within this campaign.
The webinar focused on various topics with the below speakers:
