Roleplay a conversation with a friend

hello • 5 September 2021

Your friend has seemed off lately - time to catch up?

R U OK?Day is Thursday 9 September. This year our message is:

Are they really OK? Ask them today.


To help you ask the people in your world how they're really going we've released an interactive video where you can roleplay an R U OK? conversation.

The scenario: Your friend has seemed off lately - time to catch up? Play the video above to ask her how she's really going.

Want to get involved in R U OK?Day? Use our 
FREE resources to encourage everyone in your school, workplace and community to think about who in their world might need to be asked "are you OK?"
