R U OK? Day & World Su***de Prevention Day 💛
Today is an important reminder to check in with the people around us and start conversations that could make a real difference.
You don’t need to be an expert to ask someone, “are you OK?” Sometimes simply noticing, listening and being there can mean more than you realise.
In a small community, looking out for one another matters. Take a moment today to check in with a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour or anyone who looks like they might be doing it tough, or even like they have everything together.
