Men’s Health Awareness Week is an important reminder that mental health struggles should never be faced alone. This year, we’re helping break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and encouraging open conversations before challenges reach crisis point.

From the perspective of domestic abuse charities, we know many men experiencing abuse suffer in silence due to fear, shame, isolation, or the belief they won’t be believed.
Asking for support is not weakness — it’s strength.

By raising awareness, challenging stigma, and making support more visible and accessible, we can help men feel heard, supported, and safer to speak out.
You are not alone. Support is available. 💙

❓ What helps someone feel able to speak about domestic abuse later in life?

💡Space to Tell shares an older woman’s experience of what made that moment possible, highlighting how time, trust and being asked in a safe, supportive way can make all the difference. Grounded in lived experience and designed to support the brilliant work you’re already doing.

Diolch Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner am rannu eich barn ar ein ffilmiau newydd 💜

🎬Ffilmiau newydd!
Mae cynorthwyo pobl hŷn sy'n profi cam-drin domestig yn dibynnu ar y sgil, y gofal a'r ymrwymiad y mae gwirfoddolwyr ac ymarferwyr yn eu rhoi bob dydd.
I nodi Diwrnod Byd-eang Ymwybyddiaeth am Gam-drin Pobl Hŷn, mae Dewis Choice wedi creu dwy ffilm fer sy'n edrych ar un foment dyngedfennol, sut y gellir cychwyn sgyrsiau am gam-drin domestig.
• Mae Lle i Ddweud yn rhannu profiad menyw hŷn o'r hyn a’i galluogodd i ddatgelu ei hanes.
• Mae Pŵer Gofyn yn canolbwyntio ar sut y gall ymarferwyr gefnogi’r sgyrsiau hyn yn ddiogel ac yn sensitif.
Gyda’i gilydd, maen nhw’n cynnig dealltwriaeth ymarferol, ar sail profiad bywyd, o’r hyn sy’n helpu rhywun i deimlo’n rhydd i rannu, a sut y gall eiliadau bach wneud gwahaniaeth mawr.
Os oes gennych 4 munud, maen nhw wedi'u cynllunio i gefnogi'r gwaith rydych chi eisoes yn ei wneud.

"Domestic abuse has no age limit"

Thank you Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner for sharing your reflections on our new films 💜

🎬New films!
Supporting older people experiencing domestic abuse relies on the skill, care, and commitment volunteers and practitioners bring every day.
To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Dewis Choice has created two short films exploring one crucial moment, how conversations about domestic abuse can begin.
• Space to Tell shares an older woman’s experience of what made it possible to disclose.
• The Power of Asking focuses on how practitioners can support these conversations safely and sensitively.
Together, they offer practical insight, grounded in lived experience, into what helps someone feel able to share, and how small moments can make a real difference.
If you have 4 minutes, they’re designed to support the work you’re already doing.
