RU OK DAY Thursday 12 September
R U OK? Day is our national day of action dedicated to reminding everyone to ask,
“Are you OK?” and to remember every day of the year to support people who may be struggling with life’s ups and downs.
Learn how to ask R U OK? and encourage others to do the same.
It can be confronting to start a conversation with a loved one we’re worried about, and part of this apprehension revolves around what to do if someone answers “No.” To help people overcome this fear and respond safely and sensitively, R U OK? has developed a four-step framework to guide people through a conversation.
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
R U OK? is an open source campaign, which means our conversation tips, guides and resources – including more information on these four steps – are free and can be downloaded from our website www.ruok.org.au The resources are designed to build your confidence in using these four steps and help you encourage the people in your school, workplace, sports club and community to do the same. Make this the year you download, read and share them.
