Movember Spotlight: Su***de in Men

Talking saves lives 💙

This final post in our series is a reminder that breaking the silence around men’s mental health is one of the most important things we can do. You’re not weak for struggling - you’re human. And you’re not alone.

If you or someone you know is finding things hard, support is here:
📞 143 - 24/7 helpline (DE/FR/IT)
📞 Heart2Heart - English-speaking helpline: 0800 143 000, daily from 6pm–11pm
🌐 More resources: 143.ch

Let’s keep the conversations going, not just in Movember, but all year round.
Because every man deserves to be heard.

For nearly two decades, HealthFirst’s Dr Michelle has shared trusted, accessible health information with the World Radio Switzerland community through her Health Matters podcast.

Dr Michelle writes:
“Since my very first appearance on WRS back in 2008, community radio has given me a unique platform to share reliable, accessible health information with listeners across the region. What started as a single guest spot quickly grew into a weekly programme, and today I’m still here - different format, same voice - driven by the same belief that prevention is better than cure. WRS has always been more than a station; it’s a true community space where conversations matter and local voices can make a real difference. I’m proud to be part of it.”

Today, WRS is entering a new chapter — growing the station, building a stronger future, and continuing to serve the community with independent, local radio. To make that happen, they’ve launched a fundraising campaign.

If WRS has informed you, connected you, or been part of your life in Switzerland, now’s a great time to support their future.
