I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

A someone who’s battled with mental health since early teenage years, and knows the struggle of opening up about it with those around me this is very close to my heart. 

I diddnt think I would make it to celebrate my 16th, 18th or 21st birthday, nor did I think I would see my son’s first birthday celebration. This year I’ll be celebrating my 29th,  and my son’s 9th birthday.

I wouldn’t have made it through my darkest times if it weren’t for those around me asking if I was OK. Even when I clearly wasn’t, just that question was enough to break barriers and start a conversation that helped me hang on a day longer - a year longer - 15 years longer, when I truly believed I couldn’t. 

 Very few are fortunate enough to have people around them to start the uncomfortable conversation, and even fewer have people to stay and support them beyond that first conversation.

All funds raised by Ks for RuOK are directed to suicide prevention, and supporting those during their darkest, loneliest moments. Providing 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.

Donating even $2 is tax deductible, and could help someone see through another year.
