The Barbiere Company launches campaign in support of Movember 2020

In support of Movember 2020, The Barbiere Company has announces its latest campaign, dedicated to creating awareness and tackling mental health issues within the barber shop.

Recognising a safe space where a welcomed ear can be found whilst understanding the crucial role barbers play in the mental health of men, The Barbiere Company in support of Movember have founded the ‘Real Barbers, Real Talk’ campaign to make a difference and raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

The campaign aims to inspire, educate and empower barbers to initiate and continue difficult conversations with clientele, by providing barbers with live webinar training equipping them with the tools, strategies and conversational prompts and responses to help change the face of men’s mental health, whilst raising awareness of the global issues and pressures currently experienced by men globally.

Experiencing an additional level of disconnect due to the global pandemic, 33% of men surveyed admitted they felt lonely more often, while over half of Aussie men (52%) say no one has asked how they’re coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 in 5 men (22%) reported their mental health had worsened since COVID-19 began – these are staggering statistics.

“Many men are more likely to regularly see their barber than a doctor. We know many barbers build strong relationships with their clients over time, and they are in the unique position of being able to use those trusted conversations to help men improve and protect their mental health. In the chair, men aren’t as intimidated and are more likely to feel comfortable about opening up,” said Movember global director of mental health and  suicide prevention, Brendan Maher.

“We’re not asking barbers to act as counsellors, but just being there, listening and talking can be life-saving. Movember Conversations can assist with giving barbers the practical skills to better support someone who might be going through a rough time.”
