R U OK?
A conversation can change a life
Today at Enterprise IS, we’re getting together to support R U OK? to remind everyone to stay connected and make asking, ‘are you OK?’ a part of our everyday. That way if someone we know is struggling with something big or small they’ll know we care. We also took the opportunity to wear our funky shirts as a nod to our Funky shirt Friday initiative!
You don’t need to be an expert to ask someone, ‘are you OK?’. Try and make time for regular chats about life’s ups and downs so you can build trust. That way when someone is struggling they’ll know you care and will feel comfortable opening up to you.
It also helps to choose the right time and place for a meaningful conversation.
- When connecting or doing activities together online
- When you’re spending time together socially
- When you’re doing an activity side-by-side
- When you’re sharing a meal or on a lunch break
- When you’re travelling together, even a short trip can be a good time to talk.
We’ll be sharing information and resources to help you ask, ‘are you OK?’ and meaningfully connect with the people in your world.

R U OK? is a national charity dedicated to inspiring all of us to have regular, meaningful conversations to support anyone going through a difficult time. You can learn more at www.ruok.org.au
