School planners help spread R U OK? message

hello • 10 March 2020

A regional school has implemented R U OK? resources into their student planner to educate students on the signs someone is struggling, and info on how to reach out and ask them R U OK? The Gippsland Grammar planner, facilitated by Woolston printing, also included help-seeking information.

A Woolston Printing representative said that they were aware of research supporting early intervention in preventing suicide and realised that the diaries they print for school students were the perfect vehicle to encourage a young, captive audience to be a good a friend and support their peers.

“We hope to include this content in as many diaries as we can in 2020 and onwards. Last year our diaries ended up in the hands of about 85,000 school kids across Australia. The R U OK? spreads will naturally be free of charge, and optional, but we are hoping that as many schools as possible take up the option to help R U OK?’s cause,” said Jim Woolston, 4th generation owner of Woolston Printing.
