I wasn't, but I am now. Thank you for asking Alffe, and thank you Lara as well .


I had intended to post about this wonderful innovation but I see that you beat me to it Lara.

There are lots of news articles around that explain RU OK Day, and here's a great little video that explains it well.

And some articles:

This one includes resources like videos and an article about depression, and what to do if some-one says "No, I'm not OK". http://www.ruokday.com.au/content/home.aspx

There's even a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ruokday


I guess by including all this information I hope to spread the word. One doesn't have to live in a certain country and it doesn't have to be a special day in order to check on a friend, relative or colleague. By asking "Are you OK?" you might just save a life.
