🧡 R U OK? ANY DAY
You don’t need to be a counsellor, have the perfect words or wait for R U OK? Day to check in on someone.
Sometimes it’s as simple as noticing that a mate, workmate or someone you care about doesn’t seem like themselves and asking.
“You seem a bit quiet. Everything OK?”
If they say they’re not OK, you don’t need to have all the answers. Listen with an open mind, encourage them to seek support and let them know you’re there.
And if they say they’re fine, but your gut tells you something isn’t right, it’s OK to gently dig a little deeper.
A conversation can start anywhere. At work. On site. In the ute. Over a coffee. At home.
R U OK?Day is a reminder, but checking in is something we can do any day. 🧡
