Small acts of kindness can have a big impact on someone's life. Consider asking a friend or family member today, "Are you okay?" to show them that they are not alone.
This is the driving force behind RU OK? an organisation founded by Gavin Larkin in 2009. Every second Thursday of September, they observe R U, OK? Day in Australia, which this year falls on September 14, 2023. The goal is to encourage people to connect with those who may be emotionally vulnerable, address social isolation, and promote community cohesiveness.
My mother learned about RU OK? Day from a friend, and we want to share this information with everyone. It's important to understand that mental health is just as important as physical health, and small actions like asking someone if they're okay can make a big difference. Let's all work together to create a supportive and caring community.
