A conversation could change a life
This month of September, Hi Five is la king part of the R U OK day. It is our National Day of Action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask are you ok?’ and start a meaningful conversation whenever they spot the signs that someone they care a bout might be struggling with Iife.
A place where asking the question “Are you ok?” can really work is in the workplace. As employers or staff, we can all create a cuIture where people feel confident asking and answering this simple yet important question. Besides our legal responsibility of providing a safe and healthy workplace, these conversations can make a real difference to staff going through a tough time.
So HOW TO ASK?
R U OK? has developed four conversation steps to give you the skills and confidence to navigate a conversation with someone you’re worried a bout.
