A new movement to support men’s mental health and wellbeing is launching in Torfaen, with 25 free topical talks planned across Gwent throughout 2026, culminating in two large events in Newport and Ebbw Vale.
EmpowerMen is a collaboration between several local organisations – 4Minds, Torfaen Talks CIC, Tidy Butt, JSG Health for Dads, and Talkabout Solutions – all working together to tackle the growing need for support for men of all ages.
The programme includes:
- 25 free in‑person talks across Gwent
- Four online webinars offering practical tools and open conversations
- Free counselling and coaching, providing confidential one‑to‑one support
- An event in Ebbw Vale in June and a Men’s Mental Health Roadshow at Newport’s Rodney Parade in November 2026
Organisers say the aim is to break down stigma, create safe spaces for men to talk, and offer practical help at a time when many are struggling with stress, isolation and the pressures of everyday life.
