I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

This October, I’m joining K’s for R U OK? to stay connected, develop healthy habits and help to create a world where we're connected and protected from suicide.

Each week I'll be consistent in my clocking as I walk (or bike ride) to help start more life-changing conversations. 

By donating to my page you are helping R U OK? provide free, essential resources to schools, workplaces, families, and communities across Australia. Giving them the tools and confidence to spot the signs and to start a conversation that could change the life of someone who's struggling. And you'll be putting a big smile on my face.

As a youth worker trained in mental health first aid and suicide first aid, I know that the conversation needs to be deeper than just asking R U OK? The conversation needs to have follow-through, and ensure that it is safe for the person asking and being asked if they are OK. Referrals and support by trained professionals are a necessity.  Not only do I have experience with suicide through my work, but also in my personal life with friends and family who have lost their lives to suicide, and my own experiences. Accessing the right care is imperative to preventing suicide.

Thank you so much.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.
