R U OK?
Today is ‘R U OK? Day’ which asks people around the nation to ask each other ‘R U OK?’ Students accessorised themselves by wearing yellow.
There is a quote that people say on the day. You don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a good listener.
People are starting an R U OK conversation using 4 steps.
- Ask R U OK
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
A lot of people/families have been affected by mental illness and suicide so it’s a great reminder for us to check in with our buddies and see if they are going ok.
Thank you to St Joseph’s and everyone who dressed with the colour yellow. It has been a good day and we all enjoyed it.
