The importance of checking in on friends and colleagues was front and centre at the annual R U OK? Day Breakfast, hosted by Resource Industry Network in partnership with FMS Group last Thursday morning.
The event drew members of the business and resource community together to share conversations, explore strategies for wellbeing, and show collective support for mental health.
Guest speakers Anthony Gibs from Tenaxiti Business Psychology and Debbie Knight from the Grapevine Group offered powerful insights into suicide prevention and the value of sustaining open, healthy conversations.
A nourishing breakfast was made possible thanks to support from Blue River Ice & Water, Bushman’s Bakery, Sinclair Meats Mackay and Vegies Unlimited, while exhibitors including the Grapevine Group, Run for MI Life, Gryphon Psychology and Tenaxiti provided valuable resources for attendees.
RIN said the breakfast served as a timely reminder that asking “R U OK?” doesn’t need to wait for a special occasion.
“Any day is the right day to check in,” organisers said.
