🟡 Today is R U OK? Day 🟡
Today, on R U OK? Day, we’re reminding everyone that a conversation could change a life. Not just today on R U OK? Day but every day.
A simple question can make a big difference.
Take a moment to check in with a friend, colleague, or loved one. Ask genuinely:
"R U OK?"
And be ready to listen. 💛
You don’t need to have all the answers — just your time and support can mean the world.
Together, we can help create a culture where people feel safe to speak up and seek help.
