A Conversation can change a life - RUOK? Day
R U OK? inspires and empowers everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life.
You don't need to be an expert to reach out - just a good friend and a great listener.
Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
St Pius X recognised RUOK? Day with a number of activities today.
Senior students greeted the students at the front entrance in RUOK? Day shirts to start a conversation.
The assembly addressed the issues of mental health with our counselling team.
The bells were changed to music for the day to add an upbeat atmosphere.
Ice blocks were distributed before lunch to all students.
It is important that we make regular check-ins with people. The RUOK? Day website has many more tips and techniques if you need more assistance in this space. http://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
