R U OK Day 2020

The theme of the day this year was 'There's more to say after R U OK'. 

It is important to remember that this message should go beyond just R U OK Day and that meaningful conversations are important to have regularly with those around us. 

R U OK suggests a four-step process to beginning a meaningful conversation. 

• The first step is to simply ASK - Ask your friends, family members, loved ones or colleagues… are they ok, or how they are doing. 
  
  
• The second step is to prepare for their answer. It is OK to not be OK. Listen to their response and don’t judge them.
  
  
• The third step is to encourage action and to offer support. 
  
  
• The final step is to make a time to check in. See how your friend is doing after a few days or a week. Keep up those meaningful conversations. The conversation you have with a loved one could be the difference they need in their life.

Thank you again for all your support.
