Today is R U OK? Day.
Do you know how the people in your world are really going? Life's ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are someone you know might be struggling. Your genuine support can make a difference whatever they are facing, big or small.
So, don’t wait until someone’s visibly distressed or in crisis. Make a moment meaningful and ask them how they’re really going.
Before you can look out for others, you need to look out for yourself. And that’s ok. If you're not in the right headspace or you don't think you're the right person to have the conversation, try to think of someone else in their support network who could talk to them.
To help you decide whether you’re ready to start a meaningful conversation, ask yourself:
- Am I ready?
- Am I prepared?
- Have I picked my moment?
Are they really OK? Ask them today. Your conversation could change a life.
R U OK? is a su***de prevention charity encouraging Australians to start life-changing conversations, when they're needed most. Four simple steps guide you to ask "Are you OK?", and help someone in need safely and comfortably. A conversation can change a life.

“This year, for the first time AfterPays Australian Fashion week Sydney also featured models with visible disability on their runway. A giant leap forward and a historical moment for the Australian fashion landscape. There is still much to be done but Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Amazing!
We have released a new Adaptive Boyleg– this style has been designed to make it easier for people that are less mobile and may experience varying abilities.
"Part of my disability means that some days I can’t move my legs very well, or at all! Having the adaptive Modibodi means I can independently put on my underwear, which is really important to me” - Kate Stanforth
"Disabled people get periods too and these briefs help make that experience more sustainable and easier to manage. I’m genuinely excited about it and I’d never have imagined that." - Cait Ruth
Jack has described his experience of attending university in 2020 as 'the best year of his life'. Although it was a difficult year, he certainly made the most if it!
“My focus is on what I can do, not what I can’t do.”
Like the digital future he’s cultivating, happiness for all is part of Jack Wason’s grand designs for reality. Marking 2020 as the best year of his life so far, the 19-year-old, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), is making great progress in his pursuit of those dreams.

Peter has gained the confidence to reconnect with his community.
Peter, a Kurtijar man from Normanton in Queensland's Gulf country, has an intellectual disability; with help from NDIS supports, Peter is now out and about most days, socialising, fishing and visiting his family.
In recognition of Schizophrenia Awareness Week (23 to 29 May 2021), we’re sharing Michel’s story.
After coming to terms with his Schizophrenia diagnoses, Michel uses his NDIS funding to engage an arts mentor, who assists him with creative practice and the business side of his work.
