Mens Mental Health

Written by: Bree Rizzo

At LSKD, being 1% Better Every Day means showing up not just in training, but in life.
It’s about showing up for yourself, for your mates, and for the people around you who might be struggling in silence.

This Movember, we’re teaming up with @movember to raise awareness and drive action for men’s mental health and suicide prevention. Because the reality is, too many men don’t make it through. And the only way that changes is if we talk about it, move for it, and show up together.

•

Men’s mental health and these numbers tell a story we can’t ignore:

• Every minute, one man dies by suicide around the world.
• In Australia, three out of four suicides are men.
• Globally, 10.8 million men live with anxiety or depression and many never reach out for help.
• On average, men are less likely than women to seek support for mental health struggles, often due to stigma or fear of being judged.

These aren’t just statistics, they're brothers, fathers, teammates, friends.


This month, we’re moving for more than performance.
We’re moving for the men who can’t.

Here’s how you can join us:

• Move for Movember: Run, lift, walk every movement counts.
• Start a Conversation: Check in on a mate. Don’t wait for the signs sometimes they’re hard to spot.
• Support the Cause: Grab a piece from our limited LSKD x Movember collection with a portion of proceeds going directly to support men’s mental health initiatives.
• Share Your Story: Use your platform to open up, inspire others, or remind someone that it’s okay not to be okay.

Because real strength isn’t staying silent it’s speaking up.
