R U OK?

Next Thursday, 10th September is R U Ok? Day. 

Now more than ever it is so important to check in with our friends and family. Our children can often struggle discussing their thoughts and feelings, so by asking this simple question every day it allows them to feel safe and open up their thoughts and feelings.

Please remember the 4 steps (ALEC)

1. Ask

2. Listen

3. Encourage Action

4. Check In

Please remember that it is also important as adults to check in with yourself and your friends and family at this time too. Ask someone each day R U OK? 

If you would like further information on how to reach out and speak to your loved ones the R U Ok? website have some great resources and contact information - https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

Stay safe and well.

Take care,
