Don’t forget to ask family and friends R U OK? By Susan Johnson M (Couns) Associate Consultivation  The R U OK? initiative has done great things in getting work colleagues, students and groups to become more aware of and sensitive to low moods or potential depression in the people we engage with on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, the pressures of modern living, keeping up with daily responsibilities and the compulsion of many of us to continue to play with mobile phones, computer games and other electronic devices can result in isolation from those closest to us. On this RUOK day try switching off (the gadgetry) for an agreed period of time and have a conversation with your real family and friends. Compassionate curiosity creates compelling conversations.  Consultivation is an independent consultancy service working towards a more egalitarian society through the promotion of education, awareness, understanding and acceptance.

Humans have a wide range of interests and hobbies; we read different books, play different sports, engage in different conversations, and ultimately posses different convictions. R U OK? is a not-for-profit organisation whose vision is a world where we’re all connected and can help people struggling with life long before they even think about suicide.One of the great things about asking “R U Ok?” is you don’t have to know the answers to a friend’s problems. Nor do you have to be ok yourself, or feel particularly strong 25/9/2016 02:46:46 pm
Well said. It is important we have hobbies of interest to us; and that we stay connected with others. R U Ok? is a simple way of checking in on one another - friends, colleagues and family. It's a simple message and way to help people every day of the year. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
