    R U OK? Day

    Event by Melbourne Campus

    Date and time

    1. Thu, Sep 10 2026, 12 - 1pm

    Location

    Level 2 Exhibition Hall

    Australia's annual National Day of Action around mental health and suicide prevention: 'R U OK? Day'. This day is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where we can openly ask each other, "R U OK?" and encourage conversations that can make a positive difference. 

    The 4 steps are:
    -ask if someone is OK
    -listen without judgment
    -encourage action
    -check in later

    🌟 Event:

    Come along and chat with the Counsellor and other MIT staff and students about the importance of mental health. We'll enjoy socialising over morning tea, read information cards about the state of mental health in Australia (debunking myths, highlighting the facts) and use these as talking points.

    Also there's an opportunity to write a short note to a friend or family member or anyone you'd like, thanking them for how they've helped you. Or alternatively write a note to yourself that says what you wish someone would write to you!
