RU OK? Day

RU? OK?

The profile of this day each year on the 2nd Thursday of September varies depending on whose imagination is captured and inspired.

The main focus is in schools and workplaces, where asking the question might be the beginning of a bigger conversation. The whole point is that it is okay and safe to say NO! I am not OK.

Lots of resources for mental health services are on standby on RU OK day.

Even this young chap briefly dropped his smile and revealed that he is finding school pretty tough right now.
