The Speights Mate O'Clock Tavern in Northcote.

The Speights Mate O'Clock Tavern will be opening soon to help facilitate conversations.

How and why suicides happen is incredibly complex, but what is known is that meaningful conversations and better social connections can significantly help men's overall wellbeing.

If there's one thing Speight's knows how to do, it's connect mates. We know that men are hard to reach and even harder to get mental health information to, which is why Speight's and Movember have teamed up once again to create a traveling tavern specifically to facilitate meaningful conversations.

The Mate O'Clock Tavern will pop up at events and venues throughout New Zealand to help facilitate conversations and encourage mates to check in, get past the small talk and see how their mates really are.

Look out for the Mate O'Clock Tavern and visit Speight's Instagram account to find Tavern locations. If you can't catch the Tavern on its Movember travels, you and a mate can also pop into any local Speight's Ale House, where they are offering free fries over November if you turn your phone off so you can have a good meaningful chat.

Movember supports all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. Health disparities exist, with LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination, often exacerbated by stigma in healthcare. We advocate for the right to self-identify, protection from discrimination, inclusive education, and rights-affirming healthcare, ensuring everyone can lead a healthy, dignified life.

Movember acknowledge the many and varied experiences of people navigating their health and wellbeing, those who support them and those who came before us whose stories, struggles and strength have shaped what we know. We recognise those who have generously shared their knowledge and wisdom with us and honour those we have lost too soon. Their knowledge, insight and expertise are essential to improving the design, delivery and evaluation of the work that we do and their experiences remind us why this work matters.
