R U OK DAY 2021

Default Author • March 19, 2022

We’re proud supporters of R U OK? Day and recognise the importance of meaningfully connecting and supporting each other not just on R U Ok Day but everyday.

As an organisation that puts its people first, we place great emphasis on the mental wellbeing and wellness of our people. We understand that life’s ups and downs can happen to us all, particularly amidst a global pandemic! So we'd like to remind you all to be kind to yourselves and one another. Take a moment to reach out to the people in your world to check-in and find out are they REALLY ok?

To show our dedication to our people and the R U OK cause we planned a meaningful morning of activities which commenced with a morning meditation session with Sonia Scali from the Inner Nest, followed by an R U OK Day presentation from psychologist Karl Priebe from Acacia EAP. The team were also gifted R U OK self-care packs which included a bunch of revitalising goodies.

Our activities provided us with some techniques to help us check in with ourselves and those around us, reminding us how a conversation could change a life. Let’s keep that conversation going, we encourage you all to reach out to those around you using these 4 steps:

💛 Ask R U OK?
💛 Listen With an Open Mind
💛 Encourage Action
💛 Check in

Are they really OK? Ask today!
