R U OK? Not just today but any day.

We know a simple question can open the door for connection, and at Community First Step, we empower each other to check in and ask, 'Are you ok?'

Remember: ask sincerely and answer honestly because 'no' is an answer too.

It's more than just a question—it's a lifeline.
