R U Ok? Day is a national day of action that aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help avoid little problems turning into big ones.
Staying connected with others is crucial to our general health and well-being. Feeling isolated or hopeless can contribute to depression and other mental illnesses which can ultimately result in suicide. Regular meaningful conversations can protect those we know and love.

You don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a great listener.

The truth is, some conversations become too big for family and friends. If you are worried about yourself or someone and feel urgent professional support is needed contact your local doctor or visit a Psychologist.
