Day is \"dedicated to reminding people to regularly check in with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.\" It functions as a reminder \"that every day is the day to ask, 'are you OK?'\" and to start meaningful conversations when it's apparent someone is struggling. R U OK? offers resources to facilitate change in the workplace, school, and community. Events are held at these locations where people are brought together and shown the R U OK? message. Common events are group discussions, gatherings centered around food, conversation panels, \"wear yellow\" days, and school assemblies.",
