16.01.2022 Dear Students and Community members Have you got a feeling that someone you know or care about isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they are feeling out of sorts, or not quite themselves? What is your gut instinct telling you? Trust that gut instinct and ask the question R U OK? By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up and talk and share their feelings.... The message for R U OK 2020 is There’s More To Say R U OK 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, those who are able, be willing to support those around us lets help each other and ask R U OK and begin a conversation that could save another person’s life. Let’s continue asking the question R U OK not only today, but every day if we feel the need to reach out and start a conversation. Kind Regards Dave Warrener Counsellor and Student Wellbeing
