Unite every day, ask R U OK?

Everyone goes through tough times in life when we need support and our LGBTIQ+ friends sometimes have to deal with added challenges. An R U OK? conversation can make a difference when someone is struggling and you don’t have to be an expert to show you genuinely care.

Those who are le***an, gay, bi, trans/transgender, intersex and q***r (LGBTIQ+) and sexuality, gender and bodily diverse might be subject to minority stress, prejudice, discrimination, violence or abuse. These factors mean LGBTIQ+ people can be more likely to experience depression and anxiety and be at risk of self-harm and su***de.
