R U OK? at School

R U OK? at School are a suite of resources designed to encourage and empower all students to ask 'are you ok?' regularly and meaningfully to support anyone struggling with life.

While it's targeted at 14-18 year olds, it can be adapted for any age group and used in schools and other youth settings. Resources include factsheets, classroom activities and links to online content.

You can share resources on R U OK?Day (a national day of action on the second Thursday of September) or use them at any point throughout the year. The more regularly they are used and shared, the more confident teenagers will be to start a conversation that could change a life.

Resources to download:

• Signs that a friend needs a conversation (2012)
• Hosting an R U OK?Day event in your school (2012)
• Helping a friend get help (2012)
• Youth videos
• Youth stories
