Official R U OK? policy

R U OK? is an independent, not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to provide national focus and leadership on suicide prevention in Australia by empowering people to make a difference by having open and honest communication. Our vision is for a society that can openly discuss suicide and actively takes responsibility for maintaining the connections that prevent it.

Our four priorities are

  1. Connecting people to stop little problems turning into big ones
  2. Supporting sector partners at the coalface of suicide prevention
  3. De-stigmatising conversations about suicide
  4. Developing tailored national programs to promote R U OK? and encourage participation
