Regardless of where we live, or who our mob is, we can
all go through tough times, times when we don’t feel
great about our lives or ourselves. That’s why it’s
important to always be looking out for each other.

If someone you know – a family member, someone from your
community, a friend, neighbour or workmate – is doing it tough,
they won’t always tell you. Sometimes it’s up to us to trust our gut
instinct and ask someone who may be struggling with life “Are you
OK?”.
By asking and listening, we can help those we care about feel
more supported and connected, which can help stop them from
feeling worse over time.
That's why this campaign has a simple message: Let’s talk. We are
stronger together.
