This year’s theme, “The Many Faces of ADHD”, reminds us that ADHD looks different for everyone.
It’s not just about hyperactivity or distraction; it’s about unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives that deserve to be understood and supported. 💛
Let’s take this month to learn, listen, and break the stigma around ADHD.

💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛
At Playsense OT, we believe that looking after mental health is just as important as supporting development and learning.
R U OK? Day is a reminder to pause and check in with the people around us — family, friends, colleagues, or even someone you don’t know very well. A simple “Are you OK?” can make a big difference.
💬 Try asking:
“How are you really going?”
“What’s been on your mind lately?”
“I’ve noticed you seem a bit quiet — want to chat?”
For children, creating safe spaces to talk about feelings is so important. Encouraging them to share how they feel helps build resilience, connection, and wellbeing. 🌱
Let’s keep the conversation going — not just today, but every day.
Because a conversation could change a life. 💛
