💛 R U OK? Any Day 💛
Today, we stand with organisations across Australia to recognise R U OK? Day - a reminder that meaningful conversations can happen any day, not just today.
A simple “Are you OK?” can be the start of a life-changing conversation. If you're unsure how to ask, the ALEC steps can help:
1️⃣ Ask R U OK? - start with genuine care.
2️⃣ Listen with an open mind - be present and patient.
3️⃣ Encourage action - support them in seeking help if needed.
4️⃣ Check in - follow up to show you care.
At TADWA, we believe in the power of connection, whether it’s through assistive technology, home modifications or simply being there for one another.
Let’s keep the conversation going, because care and connection matter every day. 💬💛
💙 Father’s Day is this weekend - and we’re celebrating the dads, father figures and supporters who help build inclusive communities. 💙

This Father’s Day, we honour the strength, care and quiet dedication of the men who support independence, inclusion and living life your way.
Wishing you a weekend filled with love, laughter and well-deserved appreciation.
