R U OK? Day – Starting Conversations That Save Lives
Today is R U OK? Day, a national reminder that a simple question can make a big difference. At Outright Plumbing Maintenance, we believe community is about more than just providing reliable plumbing services—it’s about looking out for one another, especially when life gets tough.
Why R U OK? Day Matters
R U OK? Day encourages all Australians to check in on friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours. Mental health challenges don’t always show on the surface, and a caring conversation can provide the support someone needs to feel less alone. Asking “R U OK?” might seem small, but it can be the start of real change.
Tips for Having the Conversation
Ask genuinely – Choose the right time and place, and show you care.
Listen without judgment – Let them speak freely and avoid rushing to give advice.
Encourage action – Suggest support options if needed, like talking to a trusted friend or a professional.
Check in again – Keep the conversation going, even after the day has passed.
