This Movember, CIIC is proud to be backing our very own Daniel Bethell, who has happily put his hand up to be part of this year’s Movember campaign!
For Daniel, Movember is about more than growing a moustache. It’s about raising awareness of men’s health, particularly mental health, and encouraging men to be more open about their wellbeing.
As Daniel puts it, men aren’t always the best at talking about their health or asking for help when they need it. If growing a moustache helps start a few conversations and encourages someone to take better care of themselves, then it’s well worth doing!
Having recently joined CIIC, Daniel has also appreciated the friendly and supportive team environment and is pleased to be part of a workplace that gets behind initiatives like this.
His message to the men in our community is simple:
“Don’t put your health on the back burner. There’s no shame in asking for help, and looking after yourself also means looking after the people who depend on you.”
A bigger movement across our SOEs
This year, 11 participants from across our State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), including representatives from three SOEs, are taking part in Movember. Together, they are helping to spark conversations, break down barriers and encourage men to prioritise both their physical and mental health.
Just like last year, all funds raised collectively by our SOEs will go towards Cook Islands Iti Tane Men’s Health & Wellbeing, an organisation doing important work to support the men in our community. Last year’s campaign raised just over $4,000, and we’re hoping to build on that success this year!
So, let’s get behind the cause, support our Mo Bros and encourage the conversations that matter.
CIIC, we’re backing Daniel! 💙
Support the movement. Support men’s health. Support our very own Mo Bro!
