Men’s Health Week (15-21 June) is a good reminder that a lot of men carry things on their own - stress, pressure, relationship challenges - and don’t always talk about it.

At CatholicCare, we work with men at all stages of life. Whether it’s counselling, support with relationships, or programs to help build safer and healthier ways of relating, there’s support available when it’s needed.

That support might look like having a conversation with a counsellor, working through a tough situation, or taking steps to make positive changes for yourself and your family.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to reach out.

Elder abuse doesn’t always look the way people expect.

In Peter’s case, it started when he offered someone a place to stay. Over time, that person took control of his finances and left him cut off from support.

With help, Peter is now safe and rebuilding. But situations like this are more common than many realise.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is about paying attention to changes in behaviour, to financial control, to isolation, and knowing when something isn’t right.

The environment is inseparable from the communities we live in. How we treat it shapes the world we share and the future we leave behind.

Today, on World Environment Day, we reflect on our responsibility to care for the world, and also take a moment to enjoy the nature around us and the gift of being alive on this planet.
