R U OK?
R U OK? Day is today Thursday, 9th September 2021. It’s our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” if someone in your world is struggling with life’s ups and downs.
We are currently living in a challenging time and this has made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. R U OK? Day helps Australians know what to say when someone says they’re not OK and guide them through how they can continue a conversation that could change a life.
You don’t have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says they’re not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before they’re in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life.
To recognise the power of casually checking in with your friends on R U OK? Day, we are encouraging students and staff to dress in yellow on Thursday, 9th September. No donation is required.
