R U OK? Day

If someone you know – a family member, someone from your community, a friend, neighbour, team mate or workmate – is doing it tough, they won’t always tell you. Sometimes it’s up to us to trust our gut instinct and ask someone who may be struggling with life “are you OK?”. By asking and listening, we can help those we care about feel more supported and connected, which can help them better manage life's ups and downs. It’s something we can all do by following a few simple steps.

Step 1- Ask R U OK? in your own way

Step 2- Listen with an open mind

Step 3- Encourage action

Step 4- Check in

If you’re feeling no good or need some extra support, yarning about how you’re feeling with someone you trust can help.
