Today we celebrated R U OK? Day. It is a day of action focused on encouraging us to take time and connect with friends, family, and colleagues.  This year's theme reminds us that there is more to say after R U OK?  It's about LISTENING, ENCOURAGING ACTION, and then STAYING CONNECTED because research indicates that genuine care and concern can make a real difference. 2020 has been and continues to be a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us.

If you feel like something’s not quite the same with someone you know – there’s something going on in their life or you notice a change in what they’re saying or doing - trust that gut instinct and take the time to ask them “Are you OK?” If someone says they’re not OK, make time to listen, encourage action, and check-in.
