Thursday 9 September
R U OK? Day is Thursday 9 September. This year our message is: Are they really OK? Ask them today.
Life's ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are, someone you know might be struggling – and your genuine support can make a difference, whatever they're facing – big or small.
Make use of technology that can bring people together online.

Here at Monash, we offer a range of activities to educate students and staff about common mental health issues, and how to support each other to get through them. Some of these programs can only be delivered face-to-face.
For more information, see our counselling services page.
Monash counsellors now offer telehealth (video or phone) consultations. If you're a Monash student, your appointment will be free. To make a booking, call (03) 9905 3020.
You can also get counselling help after-hours.
