The conversation about mental health need not be difficult - it is as simple as asking if someone is okay, listening to them, encouraging action and checking back in.
Anyone experiencing distress can seek immediate advice and support through Lifeline (13 11 14), Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800), or the Federal Government’s digital mental health gateway, Head to Health. #ruok
