Modern barbershop raising awareness and funds for Movember Foundation
KANSAS CITY, MO / ACCESSWIRE / August 21, 2023 / Scissors & Scotch, a men's grooming franchise offering high-quality haircuts and top-shelf cocktails, is using National Men's Grooming month in August to raise awareness for men's mental health. As part of their commitment, Scissors & Scotch is working to raise money for the Movember Foundation.
"At Scissors & Scotch, we recognize that grooming extends far beyond just physical appearance," says Co-Founder Erik Anderson. "It plays a significant role in promoting better mental health, which is why our focus this National Grooming Month is on educating and supporting our clients and community in this vital aspect of self-care."
National Men's Grooming Day fell on August 18, but Scissors & Scotch firmly believes grooming should not be limited to a single day. This month, all 26 locations are aiming to create a grooming movement by educating men about the significance of grooming as a vital aspect of their overall well-being. Beyond just looking good, investing in personal grooming has profound psychological benefits, leading to increased happiness and confidence in men.
Depression affects approximately 6 million men annually, according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration also reveals that one in five adults experiences a mental health condition each year. Men are less likely to seek help than women for mental health challenges such as depression, substance abuse, and other stressful life situations. This is due to social norms, their reluctance to talk, and downplaying of symptoms.
In response, on Monday, August 28, all local Scissors & Scotch locations will donate 25% of service revenue to the Movember Foundation. Scissors & Scotch headquarters will then match the raised dollar amount for their own donation.
"By coming together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of men everywhere, fostering a culture of openness and support for those who may be struggling," says Co-Founder Sean Finley.
Movember Foundation is the leading charity changing the face of men's health around the world. The foundation raises money for support programs and research focusing on men's mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer.
