❔ R U OK DAY
Thursday 10 September is R U OK Day.
It's a gentle reminder that we are all part of a community, and as such we can all look out for each other. If you see someone struggling, today or any day, ask them R U OK? It might spark the conversation they didn't even know they needed to have.
Life has its tough moments for everyone, and we need to break down the stigmas that still surround mental health. Asking someone how they're doing, and then being prepared to hear the genuine answer, is one way we can all look out for each other.
And know that you're not expected to know what to do. Sometimes people just need someone to listen, other times they might need some more help, and it's ok for you to not know what that looks like. If that situation arises, gently suggest to them that they talk to their GP as a first step, and reassure them that you will be there for them on their good days and their bad ones. That could be all they really want right now, to know they're not going through stuff alone.
I work hard to make Apple Box Studio an environment that people feel safe and supported in, so if you need to talk to someone but don't know who will listen, you can always talk to me.
