As R U OK? Day (Thursday, 14 September) approaches, let’s foster a workplace culture of meaningful conversations to support each other and our communities. Remember, asking “are you OK?” can make a real impact, and we can all play a role in creating a supportive environment.

Let’s come together and show support to those who may be struggling. Remember, you don’t need to be an expert to reach out to someone – being a good friend and a great listener can make all the difference.

Resources available to you below include:

• R U OK? Day resources, including posters and a practical guide.
• Belgravia Academy’s Mental Health First Aid course for equipping you with skills to provide initial help to those experiencing mental health challenges.
• Take Charge Mental Health eLearning Program, focusing on the role of physical activity in preventing and treating mental health issues.
• Reaching out for support numbers for immediate help.
