Last week our team came together to recognise R U OK? Day, a reminder that a simple conversation can make a real difference.
The practice went yellow for the occasion: R U OK? bunting across the front desk, yellow ribbons in ponytails, and a table of conversation starters, tips and resources for the team to take away (along with a well-stocked supply of biscuits and chocolate).
More than one day in September
It’s not just about asking “R U OK?” on one day in September. It’s about checking in with the people around us, listening, and making space for honest conversations every day: at work, at home, and with the people we see across the front desk.
We’re lucky to have such a supportive team who look out for one another.
How to ask R U OK?
If you’d like to know how to ask R U OK? and what to do next, the free four-step conversation guide (Ask, Listen, Encourage action, Check in) and other resources are available at ruok.org.au.
If you or someone you know needs support now, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.
