Today is R U OK? Day, Australia's annual su***de prevention campaign encouraging us to stay connected and have conversations to help each other through difficult times.
If you have a friend or family member who is later in life, remember that showing up for them, listening, and opening a dialogue to better understand their needs and feelings, can result in a great deal of comfort and safety.
Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:
1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check in
Should you have any questions about supporting the needs of someone considering or currently receiving in-home care, please contact our team: https://ow.ly/mONm50ZL6Jk
If you believe someone is in crisis, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
