Learn how to prepare yourself and how to ask someone R U OK? 💛🌻

By having regular, meaningful conversations, 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.

1️⃣Ask R U OK?
2️⃣Listen
3️⃣Encourage Action
4️⃣Check in.

In preparation to approach a conversation:

Ask yourself: AM I READY TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION?

Am I in a good headspace?
Am I willing to genuinely listen?
Can I give as much time as needed?
Ask yourself: AM I PREPARED?

Do I understand that if I ask how someone’s going, the answer could be: “No, I’m not”?
Do I understand that I can’t ‘fix’ someone’s problems?
Do I accept that they might not be ready to talk? Or they might not want to talk to me?
PICK YOUR MOMENT

Choose somewhere relatively private and comfy
Figure out a time that will be good to chat
Make sure you allow enough time to chat properly.
