R U OK? Day falls on Thursday 10 September this year. It’s a national day of action when Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?”. This years message is “there’s more to say after R U OK?”. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for everyone to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around them.

“20% of Australians experience a common mental health disorder during a 12-month period.”

Visit the R U OK? Day website for tips on how to ask someone if they are okay, listen with an open mind, encourage action and check in with them.

Get involved this September by:

• Starting a conversation with friends and family
• Hosting an event
• Fundraising at work or in the community
• Volunteering with the organisation
