On Thursday 12th September, DSS Staff were encouraged to wear something yellow to show our support and create a bright and positive atmosphere for R U OK? Day.
Thursday 12th September marks #RUOKDay2024. While this day is a special reminder, every day is an opportunity to check in with those we care about and ask, "Are you OK?"
Starting a conversation about mental health can be challenging, so here are four simple steps to guide you:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
These steps can make a significant difference in someone’s day. For more conversation tips and to download resources please visit www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask.
Let’s try to support each other, not just on R U OK? Day, but every day.
Thank you to all of the DSS staff for wearing yellow. This has helped us stand out and symbolize our commitment to mental health and well-being.
