This practical conversation guide contains tips to help you ask, 'are you OK?', and lend support to senior Australians in your world every day of the year. When we genuinely ask R U OK? and are prepared to talk to them about how they’re feeling and what’s going on in their life, we can help someone who might be struggling, long before they’re in crisis.
The Staying Connected Activity Book includes games, puzzles, quizzes with personal stories and conversation tips to help senior Australians feel more connected and supported. Download and enjoy together over a genuine conversation with a senior Australian in your world.
The poster provides connection tips, ideas and activities to help promote meaningful conversations with seniors. We have translated the poster, and other seniors resources into five languages: Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Greek, Korean and Vietnamese. You can access these resources here.
Printed copies of the Conversation Guide and Activity Book are also available at the R U OK? Merchandise Store.
These posters contain insights from our Staying Connected Activity Book and have been designed to be displayed in your Workplace, Community Group or at aged care facilities. The posters are A4size and in PDF format.
Use our activity sheets to share the R U OK? message with senior Australians in your life , learn how to stay connected and make asking "are you OK?" a part of your everyday.
R U OK? has a wide range of merchandise to help you add a splash of yellow and encourage more conversations in your community.
These playing cards double up as conversation starters, to help build connections and start life changing conversations.
Sometimes a conversation becomes too big for friends and family and professional support is needed. If you think someone needs extra support, encourage them to connect with their doctor, local health centre or one of the services and supports listed on our 'Find Help' page.
