The Stronger Together campaign reinforces the power of yarning, showing the many ways we can ask, listen, and check in with our mob to make sure they are OK.

ASK YOUR MOB, IN YOUR WAY, R U OK?

If someone you know is doing it tough, they won’t always tell you.  Sometimes it’s up to us to trust our gut instinct and ask someone who may be struggling with life “are you OK?”, in our own way.

By asking and listening, we can help those we care about feel more supported and connected, which can help stop them from feeling worse over time. That's why this campaign has a simple message: Ask your mob, in your way, R U OK?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples share a special connection to Country and to each other, through culture, community and shared experience. Regardless of where we live, or who our mob is, we can all go through tough times, times when we don’t feel great about our lives or ourselves. That’s why it’s important to always be looking out for each other. Because we're Stronger Together.
