I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?
This October, I’m joining K’s for R U OK?
No one should have to face their darkest moments alone. Too many lives are lost to suicide each year.
Behind every number is a friend, sibling, parent, or child who is deeply missed.
By inspiring people to take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people struggling with life to feel connected and open up.
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.
Too many people feel they have to hide their pain. So let’s break the stigma and start a conversation
Thank you so much.

One conversation can mean so much more.

Why Conversations Matter
When someone is struggling, feelings of isolation and hopelessness can take over. They may believe no one notices, or worse, that no one cares. A simple check-in, whether it’s a text, a phone call, or a quiet chat over coffee can remind them that they’re not invisible.
Feeling heard and supported can ease the weight of silence and help someone find the courage to reach out for professional support.
Spotting the signs:
It’s not always obvious when someone is struggling. But there are some subtle signs to look out for:
- Withdrawing from friends, family, or usual activities
- Talking about feeling hopeless or like a burden
- Sudden changes in mood, whether very low or unusually upbeat
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping much more than usual
- Increased use of alcohol or drugs
These signs don’t always mean someone is suicidal, but they’re gentle reminders to check in.
Showing up, being present, kind, and consistent can be life-changing. You might never know the full impact of your check-in, but sometimes it’s the very thing that keeps someone holding on
Never underestimate the power of one conversation. Asking “Are you okay?” and meaning it, could be the first step that helps someone feel less alone, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful.
Because sometimes, hope starts with a single question.
Good on you Maddy 💛💛
