Day to check in with friends

Peter Bannan

Mallee Family Care is encouraging Swan Hill district residents to reconnect with someone they’ve lost touch with at its annual R U OK? event on Thursday.

R U OK? Day is held each September in support of suicide prevention.

As part of this year’s campaign, Mallee Family Care is asking people to make more time for those in their lives who matter most.

To inspire people to reconnect, Mallee Family Care is organising several initiatives including coffee to be served in R U OK? cups at Café 202 on Thursday morning. 

They are encouraging people to bring someone along they’d like to spend more time with.
