23.01.2022 #Repost @ruokday with @make_repost It's #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK.... There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide.

Funds were used to enable young people to - provide identification to access income and services; to have phones and credit to enable c...ontact with support people and services; to access food voucher in times of emergency; to be provided with a go-card to be able to travel safely and legally on public transport to appointments, etc.; to pay the fees to apply to learn to drive which enables them greater access to employment options; cover some school expenses to be able to continue or re-engage at school to complete education; obtain clothing for job interviews, school uniforms, work clothing/boots; medical prescription in emergencies; and most importantly to live comfortably and with dignity, whilst maintaining their tenancy and to progress to more independent housing.
