Ask R U OK? Any Day because life happens every day. Life’s ups and downs impact all of us, so chances are someone you know might be struggling. Research by R U OK? indicates that those who are regularly asked, 'are you OK?' report increased feelings of wellbeing. Moreover, a third of Australians say they've been asking others more often over the past year. That means many of us are already showing up for others in meaningful ways, but when it comes to conversations about how we’re really going, some people are less confident than others. It’s natural to feel a little hesitant, but the good news is nine in ten Australians report feeling grateful, supported and cared for when someone genuinely asks them if they're OK - and that’s a good reason to give it a go.
