Thursday 9th September is R U OK? Day.
This year’s theme is: Are they really ok? Ask them today.
The key is to not wait until somebody is visibly distressed or in a crisis. Make it a point to ask your work colleague, family member or mate how they are really going.
This year with the extra pressures of a global pandemic, why not host an event to spark conversation between colleagues (even if this means just a friendly hello) – you can even do this over zoom!
