This week we recognise national \u2018R U OK DAY?\u2019 on Thursday September 14. This year\u2019s theme \u201cHere to Hear\u201d<\/em> reminds us to observe and really listen to what the people are saying, doing and feeling.\u00a0 We don\u2019t always know when someone is going through a difficult time so if you notice a change in someone you work with, something different in what they are doing or saying, trust that gut instinct and take time to ask \u201cAre you OK?\u201d.<\/h4>\n

Team collegiality is something we do well here at Metro North. One of the things that makes Metro North a great place to work is each other. So reaching out to those we work with and asking R U OK? particularly if they are going through a tough time will remind our colleagues that they are supported. It may even encourage some people to access help earlier.<\/p>\n

Today I am also sharing a video of a recent interview held at our STARS Facility where Culture and Wellbeing Coordinator Allison Welch talks with R U OK? Ambassador Jo Hassan about how to check in with friends, family and colleagues. I encourage you to take some time today to watch this video which can be accessed on the Metro North R U OK? site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

R U OK? will be recognised by events across all our campuses including face to face sessions where you can learn how to feel confident asking R U OK? or join in on Here to Hear wellbeing session.\u00a0 You can register to attend one of these sessions with our Staff Psychology and Wellbeing teams via TMS.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Our Wellbeing coordinators will be roaming across all sites to take photos and share the \u201cHere to Hear\u201d <\/em>message and promote the value of checking in with each other. \u00a0If you are hosting and event or have photos from R U OK? Day, please share them\u00a0via email<\/a> or via the teams channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"RUOK?So, take a moment to connect with your team mates for morning tea, a coffee or a simple question – R U OK?.\u00a0 Remember to make sure your friends and colleagues know you are here to hear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
