R U OK?Day is today, Thursday 12 September!

It’s our national day of action dedicated to reminding everyone to ask, “Are you OK?” and to remember every day of the year to support people who may be struggling with life’s ups and downs.

At Townsville Junior Touch Football, we know that regular meaningful conversations can make a difference. And you don’t have to be an expert to ask how someone’s going. Just a great mate and a good listener.

This year we’re shining a light on the times we should be asking our team mates, friends and loved ones this important question. We want everyone in our touch football family to know that if something’s up with someone you know – there’s something going on in their life or you notice a change in what they’re doing or saying – it’s time to trust that gut instinct and ask them “Are you OK?”

To spread this message, we’ve named this weeks round of touch football “R U OK? Round”, and we’re asking everyone to wear something yellow, and to give what they can to help support R U OK?.

R U OK? is a national charity dedicated to inspiring all of us to have regular, meaningful conversations to support anyone struggling with life.

You can learn more about the signs and how to ask R U OK? at www.ruok.org.au

We look forward to seeing you all at Queens Park this week wearing something yellow!
