Today across Australia people are pausing to connect, reflect, and ask, ‘are you OK?’.

It’s been 17 years since the first R U OK?Day in 2009. That one single day of action is now a year round conversation movement thanks to you and the tens of thousands of others across the nation who share the R U OK? message and encourage more life changing conversations, not only on R U OK?Day but every day.

When you ask someone how they’re really going, make time to listen and support them through difficult times you’re helping us create a nation where we are all connected and protected from suicide.

You are helping us inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people they care about and lend support when they are struggling with life.
