Movember

[NoeMasks]

67% of all suicides are Men.

The Month of November is Men's health month. No shave November for prostate health. Well this is along that lines. My Movemeber Pledge, is if you need someone to talk to, my PM's are open. The Goal is to reduce male suicide rates by %25 by 2020. Depression hits us all, together we can work through it.

Only 67% are men?
Geez I thought it was way more than that.

WHO says in the UK it's 74% and also 74% in the USA.

These are from 2012 so perhaps it's outdated and prevention methods are working.
Whatever the case, it's bad.

They also have this fancy booklet on Myths of Suicide.

I'm a female and I'm depressed. Guess I'm out of luck...?

Here is one of MANY National Suicide Hotlines:

I'm also an RN, and I will check prostates for November, but I'll have to work on my mustache.

So much I could say but I don't want to deal with the attention.

Talk to people folks.
