Movember 2026 runs from 1 to 30 November, raising awareness of men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer. Kevin George, a BACP registered psychotherapist, Senior Family Therapist and former West Ham and Charlton footballer, connects his work on overprotective parenting and courageous decision making to men’s mental health. He explains how boys protected from challenge and told to perform strength can grow into men who hide their struggles, why speaking up is the brave decision, and how sport offers the predictable stress and connection that builds genuine resilience.
