R U OK? Day falls on 9 September this year. It’s a national day of action when Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?”.
THIS YEAR THE MESSAGE IS:
Are they really OK? Ask them today.
Do you know how the people in your world are really going?
Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are someone you know might be struggling. Your genuine support can make a difference whatever they are facing, big or small.
So, don’t wait until someone’s visibly distressed or in crisis. Make a moment meaningful and ask them how they’re really going. Are they really OK? Ask them today. Your conversation could change a life.
Visit the R U OK? Day website for tips on how to ask someone if they are okay, listen with an open mind, encourage action and check in with them.
Get involved this September by:
- Starting a conversation with friends and family
- Hosting an event
- Fundraising at work or in the community
- Volunteering with the organisation
