What We Do
Empowering People to Meaningfully Connect and Lend Support
R U OK? is an Australian-based public health promotion charity that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives.
Our work focuses on building the motivation, confidence and skills of the help-giver – the person who can have a meaningful conversation with someone who is struggling with life.
R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and by building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family and colleagues - to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they're in crisis.
Our Vision
People are connected
People have a sense of belonging, and so are more likely to reach out for help when they are struggling with life.
People are protected from suicide
People who are struggling with life are supported by the people around them.
