**🖤💛❤️ R U OK? Day 🖤💛❤️** In our culture, connection to land, family, and community is everything. It’s important that we keep looking after each other and having those meaningful yarns. Today, on R U OK? Day, let’s check in with our mob, our Elders, and our young ones. A simple "Are you OK?" can help keep the spirit of connection strong. Remember: 1. **Ask R U OK?** in a way that feels comfortable. 2. **Listen up—really listen.** Sometimes, all someone needs is for you to be there. 3. **Encourage them to yarn with someone else or seek support** if they need it. 4. **Follow up**—our connections are ongoing, so keep that support going. Mental health is a journey, and our strength comes from walking that path together. If you’re not feeling strong right now, know that it's OK to reach out. We heal better together, and no one should walk this road alone. Stay strong, look after your wellbeing, and keep caring for each other. 🖤💛❤️ #RUOKDay #YarnUp #StrongSpirit #CaringForCommunity

A reminder that you're only as strong as the support network around you. Many of us feel disconnected from our communities when our mental health is poor. It can be isolating to feel as though no one understands what you're going through, and it can feel too overwhelming or awkward to reach out and ask for help from loved ones. If you're supporting someone who is struggling with their mental health, it can be difficult to know how to check in with them and to offer your support. It can also be stressful not knowing how they're doing each day, and feeling as though you don't fully know how to help them. Kibou brings you and anyone you care about together, to tackle these problems within personal communities. You can give and receive support at any time, from anywhere.

The 'team' you have around you is crucial to everyday, sustained wellbeing. Social connectivity is known to be a key factor for a long life expectancy, and proven to reduce the risk of suicide. When connecting in person isn't possible, or simply too overwhelming, Kibou offers a safe space to connect, check-in, and get real understanding about your personal experiences from the people that matter most. Habitually checking in with yourself everyday is also a fantastic self-care method, and in turn can encourage you to feel more confident in opening up to others. Create your circle, log your score, get connected. Give it a go! 💜

How are you feeling today? It’s important to pause and check in with yourself. 🌟 No matter where you are on this list—from feeling great to needing some extra support—remember that your feelings are valid, and prioritizing your mental health is essential. If you’re struggling, take a moment to breathe, seek support, or reach out for help. At Faith Works Counseling, we’re here to walk with you on your journey to healing. Take care of yourself—you matter. ❤️ #MentalHealthMatters #FaithWorksCounseling #MentalHealthCheckIn #StrengthThroughLove
