We spend plenty of time checking our vehicles before a big trip, tyre pressures, fluids, equipment and everything needed for the road ahead.
It’s just as important to check in on the people travelling beside us.
If a mate has gone quiet, stopped coming along, or simply doesn’t seem like themselves, trust your instinct. Ask them if they’re OK, give them time to answer and genuinely listen.
You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply starting the conversation can make a bigger difference than you realise.
Today is R U OK? Day, but checking in shouldn’t be limited to one day of the year.
If someone’s on your mind, ask R U OK?
Any Day.
