R U OK? Day 2019
R U OK? Day has arrived again. It is our national day to support people who may be struggling, just by simply asking “Are you OK?”.
This year, the R U OK? theme is encouraging everyone to:
1. Trust the Signs;
2. Trust your Gut; and
3. Ask R U OK?
Whenever you notice someone’s behaviour change, trust your instinct and start a conversation. All you need to do, is be a good listener.

R U OK?’s mission is to inspire and empower everyone to connect with people in a meaningful way and provide support to anyone struggling with life.
