Free resources for trainees and apprentices
R U OK? is calling on young apprentices to 'Be a mate, it's worth it' because when we're going through tough times, it's mates who are best placed to understand and lend support.
These free resources encourage trainees and apprentices to foster supportive friendships by regularly checking in with their mates and paying attention to any signs that might indicate a mate is struggling.
When we make the time to build strong friendships it creates a foundation to rely on as we move through life to help everyone feel more connected and supported.
These posters feature various scenarios that demonstrate when a mate might be struggling and needing a little extra support, as well as a follow up conversations with each set of characters. Posters are A4 size in PDF format.
These two conversation starter posters can help you know what to say if someone tells you they are not OK. The blank one can be filled in to highlight how people are having R U OK? conversations with those in their world. There is also a poster of support services people can go for help. Posters are A4 size in PDF format.
Share our digital assets and social media tiles to encourage trainees and apprentices to consider who in their world might need to be asked 'are you OK?' These can be shared on social media, in emails, on websites or in e-newsletters.
