It's MOVEMBER!
What is Movember?
Movember
is when men donate their face to raising awareness for men's health. It
began with focusing on testicular and prostate cancer and has grown to
also raise awareness of men's mental health.
Men
who participate shave their face at the beginning of November and spend
the month growing an awesome 'stache and raise money for mens health
programs.
How will Library of the Seen Be Involved?
Here
at Library of the Seen we will be focusing on books that deal with the
issue of Mental Health and YA males. There are so many books out there
that talk about females with mental health issues but I feel like there
aren't as many books out there about males dealing with these issues.
I
will also be having guest posts from men and some women about living
with mental illness and hopefully some about living with testicular or
prostate cancer as well.
It
is time that we shed the light on mental health and help erase the
stigma that having a mental illness or seeking help somehow makes you
less macho or manly.
From now on whenever you see this image
It will signify that the book I am reviewing deals with mental health issues.
