Today is R U OK? Day.

Do you know how the people in your world are really going? Life's ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are someone you know might be struggling. Your genuine support can make a difference whatever they are facing, big or small.

So, don’t wait until someone’s visibly distressed or in crisis. Make a moment meaningful and ask them how they’re really going.

Before you can look out for others, you need to look out for yourself. And that’s ok. If you're not in the right headspace or you don't think you're the right person to have the conversation, try to think of someone else in their support network who could talk to them.

To help you decide whether you’re ready to start a meaningful conversation, ask yourself:
- Am I ready?
- Am I prepared?
- Have I picked my moment?

Are they really OK? Ask them today. Your conversation could change a life.

R U OK? is a su***de prevention charity encouraging Australians to start life-changing conversations, when they're needed most. Four simple steps guide you to ask "Are you OK?", and help someone in need safely and comfortably. A conversation can change a life.

Amazing!

We have released a new Adaptive Boyleg– this style has been designed to make it easier for people that are less mobile and may experience varying abilities.

"Part of my disability means that some days I can’t move my legs very well, or at all! Having the adaptive Modibodi means I can independently put on my underwear, which is really important to me” - Kate Stanforth

"Disabled people get periods too and these briefs help make that experience more sustainable and easier to manage. I’m genuinely excited about it and I’d never have imagined that." - Cait Ruth
