R U OKAY DAY

G'day,

Today is R U OK day.

What is R U OK? 


"The R U OK? Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to encouraging all people to regularly and meaningfully ask 'are you ok?' to support those struggling with life.

R U OK?Day is our national day of action on the second Thursday of September (12 September 2013), and dedicated to reminding people to regularly check in with family and friends. 
We also have Resources for You to use throughout the year to help you ask 'are you ok?' regularly of family, friends and colleagues."
