Today is RUOK? Day – a vital reminder of the power of checking in with one another. Mental health is something that impacts every industry, including removals, where long hours, physical demands and time away from home can take a toll.
💡1 in 5 Australians experience a mental health condition each year, and unfortunately su***de remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15-44. For those in high pressure, physically demanding roles, having real conversation can make all the difference.
At AFRA, we encourage our members and teams to look out for each other – to ask, to listen, and to genuinely connect. A simple “R U OK?” could be the first step in helping a mate feel supported and less alone.
Let’s use today as a reminder to check in – not just on RUOK? Day, but every day. 💛
