St Joseph's Primary School community at Trafalgar recently checked in on each other and asked R U OK?
The school community participated in the annual event to help educate people about the importance of mental health.
R U OK day encourages people to reach out to friends and family and check in on them. A simple phone call or message can go a long way in helping someone with their mental health.
Leadership at St Joseph's School reached out to staff and asked them if they were really okay.
The message was stay connected and make asking are you okay part of your everyday. That way, if people are struggling with something big or something small or maybe nothing at all, they'll know you care.
To acknowledge R U OK?day, staff at St Joseph's School Trafalgar were presented with care packages.
This year the care packages included healthy treats (avocado, banana, apple and mandarin) to further promote the school's healthy eating message in the Vic Kids Eat Well Program.
