The power in asking: Are you okay?

Each September, we mark R U OK? Day and World Suicide Prevention Day. It's a time to reflect and check in on those around us. There's power in asking the are you okay question, so this month, promote checking in and how to access support. You never know: a conversation could save a life. For this R U OK? Day, we have you covered with a guide on how to explore conversations and break down barriers...

Week 1

Commence September with a spotlight on women's health for Women's Health Week. Promote open discussions with the women in your team and have coffee catch-ups to talk through the additional support they need. Let them know your always here if they need support - as is Converge.

Week 2

To maintain momentum, this week it's time to mark R U OK? Day! Encourage your people to ask one another: "are you okay?" Give them the tools to know how to approach and fulfil a mental health conversation - we can help there.

Week 3

At the midway point of the month, continue the R U OK? Day message by acknowledging World Suicide Prevention Day. Share helplines and evidence-based resources, hosting a short awareness or gatekeeper training, encouraging compassionate check-ins, using safe language, and highlighting confidential support through us.

Week 4

Don't let R U OK? Day slip. Offer your teams training and awareness sessions to keep the conversations going. Offer our resources, showcase our videos, and let them know that we're here to help, anytime, anywhere!

Awareness Days

Awareness days create a shared moment to pause, learn and act. They focus attention, give teams language to start meaningful conversations, and connect personal experience to organisational values. Used well, they spark reflection, learning and inclusion—long after the day itself.

R U OK? Day

R U OK? Day encourages everyday, meaningful conversations that can change a life. Prompt teams to ask, listen without judgment, encourage action, and check in again—then highlight confidential support through Converge for anyone who needs extra help.

September International Day of Sign Languages

International Day of Sign Languages

International Day of Sign Languages celebrates the linguistic diversity and rights of Deaf communities. Mark it by sharing an Auslan basics guide or a short lunch-and-learn, enabling captions/live transcripts, booking interpreters for key sessions, and refreshing internal comms and signage to be more accessible.

28 August World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day is a moment to reduce stigma, promote help-seeking, and remind people they’re not alone. Mark it by sharing safe messaging and helplines, running a short gatekeeper/awareness session, encouraging compassionate check-ins, and signposting confidential support through Converge.
