💛 ONE QUESTION. ONE CONVERSATION. ONE PERSON WHO KNOWS THEY’RE NOT ALONE.
“R U OK?”
Four small words.
But sometimes, they can mean everything.
Because behind the smile, there may be sadness.
Behind “I’m just tired,” there may be exhaustion.
Behind “I’m fine,” there may be a silent struggle no one can see.
We never truly know what someone is going through.
So today, on R U OK? Day, look beyond the “I'm okay.”
Call the person you’ve been meaning to call.
Check on the friend who has gone quiet.
Sit beside someone who seems a little different.
Ask the question — and, most importantly, stay and listen to the answer.
You don’t need to fix everything.
You don’t need to have the right words.
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can say is:
“I’m here. You don’t have to go through this alone.” 💛
At Hammond Park Family Practice, we know that caring for your health is about more than treating illness. It’s about caring for you — your body, your mind and your wellbeing.
Today, and every day, let’s look after one another.
Because you never know what someone is carrying.
And you never know how much your question might mean.
💛 R U OK?
