25.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day A reminder to start a conversation that could change a life today, tomorrow and any day is needed. Just letting a person know that you car...e and that they are worthy of being cared about is sometimes enough. By reaching out to anyone you think might be struggling today, you can show them theyre supported and encourage them to access help if its needed. If you need support, there are a number of helplines that you can call. Lifeline provides 24/7 crisis support: 13 11 14. Today we invited our Onelife NQ team for lunch and had our local QPS team join us.
