R U OK? Workplace Conversation Guide

Duration: 15 minutes

Overview: Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it. In this course, you'll learn more about the signs and when it's time to ask R U OK?

Why is this course important? By starting a R U OK? conversation, you could help a family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not OK, you can follow the conversation steps in this guide to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.

Suitable for: All employees and anyone who wants to lend support to the people in their world who may be struggling with life.
