Let’s Chat – R U OK? Day

As we all know, 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone. It is now more important than ever to start a conversation that could change a life today, tomorrow, and any day it’s needed.

Recent survey indicated that 63% of people were not confident they knew the signs that someone might be struggling with life, and 41% had never asked someone if they were okay because they were not sure they knew the signs. The data also revealed that nearly half (49%) of people believed they would be more confident in starting a conversation if they knew these signs.

Reaching out and asking for help can be hard, but having conversations with those around you could potentially change a life… yours or someone else’s. It is one of the things we all can do by staying connected and asking, “R U Ok?”

Thank you to all our guests for sharing with us your thoughts and practical advice on the various types of conversations that we all can have, on any given day.
