Why should we ask R U OK?
Ask R U OK? Any Day because life happens every day.
A lot can happen in a year, a month, a week. Whether it's your friend, family member, colleague, partner, or teammate, the people you care about go through life's ups and downs every day. And they're not alone, with 72% of Australians reporting elevated levels of distress.
Regular, meaningful conversations with the people close to you can help prevent small things from becoming big things. By checking in regularly, you build trust and normalise talking about what's really going on, so when the people in your world find themselves struggling, they know you're someone they can talk to.
So, don't wait for R U OK? Day on 12 September, Ask R U OK? Any Day of the year because a conversation could change a life.
