Today, on R U OK? Day, we came together for morning tea and an open conversation about how we each support our own mental health and wellbeing. It was also heartening to note how many of our team said they would feel comfortable talking about their mental health, if needed, with a work colleague. It's important to create space for these regular check-ins to ensure we all feel seen and heard. And let’s remember #AnyDay is a good day to start a life-changing conversation. Thanks to our CPO, Charlotte Miles (CPHR) for bringing us all together! #RUOK #Cerclos #WorkLife #EmployeeExperience
There’s no one right way to ask R U OK? The most important thing is that you're genuine and ready to lend your support, whatever their answer is. If you want to start a conversation, but aren’t sure where to start, try the R U OK? A-L-E-C four step model. ASK R U OK? - in a way that works in a way for you. LISTEN – with an open mind. ENCOURAGE ACTION – encourage them to do something that might lighten the load or, if needed, help them access professional support. CHECK IN – keep the conversation going so they know you’re there if they need to chat. We can all help the people we care about feel connected and supported, long before they’re in crisis.
