The next Rail R U OK? Day will be on 12 April 2018.
The industry-wide event focuses on engaging rail staff in conversations about their emotional status by prompting them to answer one simple question: Are you ok?
While we cannot eliminate depression or anxiety in one day, it is our hope that this project takes us a step forward in addressing stigma surrounding emotional and mental trauma that might manifest as a result of exposure to incidents on the rail.
By making every day a Rail R U OK? Day we can create an environment of support and encouragement so that asking if one is “OK” becomes standard industry practice.
TrackSAFE and R U OK? developed a range of tools to help participating organisations launch their very own Rail R U OK? Day events.
