I'm fundraising for a great cause!
In our workplace we do our best to look out for our colleagues and check in on each other regularly.
About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.
For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide.
89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.
According to a study conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, persons accessing disability services between 2013 and 2018, died by suicide at a rate three times greater than the general population of the same age groups. Disability service users with an acquired brain injury are listed in this study as having the second highest suicide rate nationally.
As a disability service provider specialising in acquired and traumatic brain injury, we want to help change these numbers.
R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide. Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.
By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.
Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.
Great opportunity to support such an important cause.
