R U OK? Day: Resources
R U OK? Day raises awareness and reminds Australians of the resources available to support one another.
A CONVERSATION CAN CHANGE A LIFE
The campaign inspires and empowers everyone to meaningfully connect with people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life.
You don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a great listener.
Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check-in
The R U OK? website has some amazing resources.
