R U OK? Day

Today is the National Day of Action dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” and support those struggling with life's ups and downs.

This year's message is 'There's more to say after R U OK?'  2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us.

Australians are encouraged to 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.

People don’t have to be experts to keep the conversation going when someone says they’re not OK. By knowing what to say, people 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.

Additional information can be accessed on the R U OK? Day website.
