R U OK?
Thursday 12 September is RU OK? Day.
R U OK? Day is a day that encourages you to have regular, meaningful conversations with friends and family. This means we ask the question “Are you OK?”, we listen, encourage them to get some support if they need it and then check in with them a few days later. In this way, you build trust and normalise talking about what’s really going on, so when the people in your world find themselves struggling, they know you’re someone they can talk to.While R U OK? Day is emphasised on one day, it is important to ask R U OK? any Day of the year because a conversation could change a life. During the week staff will be promoting the message and helping students to learn how to check in with their friends and family.
