R U OK? Day – 15th September 2011

Most small business owners have felt quietness and isolation get to them one time or another. When you are struggling to build your business it can feel like you’re the only one in the world with the problems you face.

But you are not alone.

September 15th marks the third annual R U OK? Day, a national initiative focused on suicide prevention by encouraging Australians to connect with others to stop little problems growing any bigger.

65,000 Australians attempt suicide each year. Many people don’t talk openly when they are struggling so we can’t afford to wait for them to start the conversation. We need to ask the simple question that may save a life.

Who can you connect with on Thursday? Who will you ask “R U OK?”
