R U OK?

R U OK?

🟑 R U OK? You don't have to have all the answers. Just start the conversation. 🟑

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. School, friendships, family, social media, sport, Cadets and everyday pressures can all add up.

This R U OK? Day, take a moment to check in with a mate. A simple "Are you OK?" could make a real difference.

βœ… Ask the question
πŸ‘‚ Listen without judgment
πŸ‘‰ Encourage action if needed
πŸ”„ Check in again later

If you're not feeling OK yourself, remember that it's always OK to ask for help. Reach out to a trusted adult, parent, carer, teacher, Cadet staff member, or someone you feel comfortable talking to.

As an Australian Army Cadet, you also have access to support through:

β›ͺ Chaplaincy Services

🀝 Free counselling through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), available to all Cadets and Army Cadet Staff.

There are also free professional support services available:

πŸ“± Kids Helpline
(for young people aged 5 to 25) this includes a 24/7 online chat feature.

πŸ“ž 1800 55 1800
🌐 https://kidshelpline.com.au

πŸ“ headspace

Find your local centre:
🌐 https://headspace.org.au

Remember, looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your physical health.

No matter what you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone.
