Yesterday, 12-Sep-2024, the PFS Australia team all wore yellow in support of the national R U OK? Day initiative.
Lunch and soft drinks were provided, and the team got together to eat, chat, and discuss the great work that R U OK does and the awareness they bring to mental health.
“R U OK? is a national suicide prevention charity and registered public health promotion that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times.
Our work focuses on building the motivation, confidence and skills of the help-giver – the person who can have a meaningful conversation with someone who is struggling with life.
R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family and colleagues – to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they’re in crisis.” – R U OK?
Remember, you could save lives by simply asking “R U OK?”. If you or a family member are struggling with mental health, please reach out to a mental healthcare professional.
