R U OK? Connect and Care
How can you effectively communicate that you’re here to hear to the people you care about?
R U OK? Week is an event dedicated to raising awareness and promoting mental health and well-being conversations. It serves as a reminder to check in on the people around us and ask the simple yet powerful question, “R U OK?”. The initiative aims to foster a supportive and compassionate community where individuals feel comfortable seeking help and support when needed.
When we genuinely listen with an open mind, it can make a profound difference in helping individuals feel connected and supported. To promote awareness about recognizing when someone might be facing difficulties and how we can extend support to one another, R U OK? has developed four simple steps for initiating a conversation that could change a life.
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
