What is R U OK?Arvo
R U OK?Arvo is on Friday November 27, 2009 and is dedicated to reducing stress and depression in the workplace by encouraging work mates to connect and support each other . Ultimately the aim is to help reduce Australia’s shockingly high suicide rate. RUOK?Arvo is the workplace prelude to R U OK?Day which will be on Sunday November 29, 2009.
On that Friday afternoon, all workers will be invited to connect with one person they care about – either a loved one or work colleague - and ask R U OK? Resources to help with awareness, how to ask R U OK, how to say “I’m not OK”, and support services to refer people to are on this website.
