R U OK? Day
Western will hold R U OK? Day events on Thursday, 21 September 2023. This year, we are hosting events across all Western campuses and online. R U OK? Day is a National Day of Action across Australia, and reminds us to take time to check-in with our friends, family and colleagues and ask R U OK?
R U OK? Day is about caring and fostering a sense of community. It encourages being aware of others, checking how people are going, sometimes having difficult conversations, asking what people need and connecting them to appropriate support if required.
The WHS & Wellbeing team invites you to participate in two RUOK? Day workshops with our Employee Assistance Provider, AccessEAP.
