R U OK? Day — A Reminder that Every Day Matters
Yesterday was R U OK? Day — a chance for us to pause, reach out, and check in with the people in our lives. But the truth is, conversations like this don’t need to be confined to one special day.
New research shows that 9 out of 10 Australians feel more supported and valued when someone takes a moment to genuinely ask, “Are you OK?”
Asking a question doesn’t fix everything — but it opens the door. It shows someone they’re not alone, that someone cares, and that it’s okay to share what’s really going on
Use these four steps and have a conversation (any day) that could change a life:
– How have things been lately/What’s been happening?
– Listen
– Encourage action
– Check in
