R U OK? Day by Interact Club

R U OK? Day is a day to raise awareness for suicide prevention, depression and mental health. Interact is using this day to bring a little colour as we head into the SAC and Exam period. 

Even during this busy, very difficult, and often stressful time, we want to make sure you're still hugging each other and looking forward to tomorrow together, and planning movies.  The day is about checking up on EVERYONE in the community; but also a day that reaffirms how very okay it is to reach out for help and open up to the people around you. 

PART 1:

of our project is all over the school. And each and every person's locker.  

PART 2:

PART 3:

HAPPY BOARD//hop on board the support and positivity. We have super-sticky sticky notes ready to go for anyone and everyone to write a positive message, stick it on and support the spirit of the day.

And to the Interacters out there. You guys are the most best eggs out there. Which is my metaphor for liquid-gold-hearted people. Thank you for giving up so many weeks to plan this project (embraces you all with my limited arm-span)
