This Thursday is R U OK? Day which is about encouraging everyone to stay connected and have a meaningful chat with those around you. Simply asking the question ‘are you OK?’ can be the thing that helps us all feel more supported, particularly if we are going through difficult times.
We are holding R U OK? Day activities for students and employees and hope you will join us at our Lilydale, Elgar and Nelson Cafés, and the City C1 Foyer.
Come and take part in some badge giveaways, creating random acts of kindness, chatterboxes, lucky dips and more!
We will also have a ‘mental health pledge wall’ where we are inviting everyone to share their personal promise in terms of taking care of yourself and others. It might be as simple as ‘I promise to take 30 minutes to myself each day to do something I love’ or ‘I promise to switch off my iPhone/laptop and connect more with my friends or family’.
