Showing Australia you've got what it takes
hello • 19 September 2017
On our Conversation Convoy we’ve travelled 14,000 km, visited 30 communities and shown countless Australians how to Ask R U OK?, Listen, Encourage action and Check in. Because we’ve all got what it takes to follow those steps and support those struggling with life.
The R U OK? Conversation Convoy aimed to inspire every Aussie, no matter their location, to invest more time in the people around them and give them the skills, motivation and confidence to start a conversation with anyone they may be worried about.
Here's what was achieved over our six week journey:
If you’re unsure, uncomfortable or not sure how to ask R U OK? visit www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
If you or a loved one need extra support head to www.ruok.org.au/findhelp
When the R U OK? Conversation Convoy rolled into Bridgetown, Western Australia, it brought a familiar message to a community where looking out for one another is part of everyday life.
The pair are taking part in Ks for R U OK?, a fundraising challenge that encourages people to get moving while raising funds and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
Chris’ former neighbour, Blake, was just 14 years old when he noticed something wasn’t right and trusted his instincts enough to act.
