A CONVERSATION COULD CHANGE A LIFE

LET’S EMPOWER, CONNECT AND START MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER.

R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family and colleagues – to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they’re in crisis.

We don’t need to be an expert to reach out, all we need to do is be a good friend and a great listener!

R U OK? Day encourages us to connect with people who have emotional insecurity, to address social isolation and promote community cohesiveness.

Let’s encourage ourselves to have conversations with these four useful prompts that could potentially change a life:
1.ASK R U OK?
2. LISTEN
3.ENCOURAGE ACTIONS
4.CHECK IN

NOMINATE YOUR PERSON FOR A CHANCE TO WIN

To celebrate the importance of R U OK? Day we are running a competition to reward those good people in our lives. The ones that always listen or are a fantastic friend.

Nominate your favourite person in the link and they will go into the chance to win 1 nights accommodation at Hyatt Place Melbourne Caribbean Park.
