RU OK?

Asking and listening for the answer to the question of RU OK brings light into lives. Where we pause to ask and listen, we provide space to engage in conversation that can encourage and support. Pausing and the listening builds connections and can strengthen relationships. Having someone really listen can make a huge difference. On this day of national action for R U OK we are reminded that every day we can make a difference by checking in with people and being attentive to their response. Where we find there is a greater need, we can engage with professional support through counsellors such as Mr Brendan Macauley at the College, GPs and through a variety of agencies including Beyond Blue, Kids Helpline, and Headspace.

Through being an encouraging presence and through prayer we can pray that God would equip and guide us to be people who can walk with and shine a light of hope. God promises that He will always listen and walk with us through all circumstances.
