R U OK?Day began in 2009 when Gavin Larkin, inspired by the loss of his father Barry to su***de, set out to encourage Australians to have more meaningful conversations with the people around them. What began as one simple question — “Are you OK?” — has grown into a national movement reminding us that checking in, listening and staying connected can make a real difference.
This R U OK?Day, take a moment to check in with someone you care about — not just on 10 September, but any day of the year. 💛
