R U OK? DAY SPARKS CONVERSATIONS IN TAMWORTH

A splash of yellow was seen on the streets of Tamworth today, with dozens attempting to break down the stigma around asking for help.

Mental health services, as well as students from Farrar, were all on board – supporting ‘R U OK? Day’.

Pens, pads and wristbands were handed out, with tips on how to start conversation.

“It’s as simple as asking how your day is really… And then it can start flowing from there. It’s a simple one question thing and that can lead to a big range of conversation and also encourage them to seek further help if they need it.”

R U OK is a suicide prevention charity.
