A conversation could change a life
We know that gaming can provide a sense of belonging and it is this social connectedness that can help gamers look out for each other both online and offline, especially in these challenging times. 

When relationships with our friends, community and loved ones are strong, we’re well placed to notice the signs that someone might be struggling. By trusting these signs, trusting our gut instinct and asking them, “Are you OK?” we can help them open up and find pathways to support long before they’re in crisis.

While the signs can sometimes be subtle, there can be clues that someone’s not doing so well. When somebody stops reply to messages, when they stop gaming, when you don’t see them online as often or you might just have a gut feeling that something’s not quite right. Don’t ignore these signs. Find the time to ask, “Are you OK?” 

That conversation could change a life.
