Throughout November, a group of Dryden staff members are taking part in the Movember campaign to raise awareness and vital funds for men's mental health. 👨
While growing a mustache is a visible and fun sign of participation, it represents something much deeper: the daily practices and habits needed to maintain physical and mental health. Specifically, Movember focuses on breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness, anxiety, and depression in men.
If you're able to support the cause, you can donate directly to the team's campaign at https://us.movember.com/donate/details?memberId=15300345#amount
Thank you for helping us support fostering healthy habits and encouraging open conversation about mental health! #LionPride #Movember
