On R U OK? Day, Thursday 15 September, millions of Australians took the time to connect with their loved ones and ask “R U OK?” R U OK? Day is a national initiative which aims to reduce suicide and improve mental health and well-being in the community. In the time it takes to have a coffee, you could start a conversation that could change a life.

Gloria Jean’s Coffees, as major sponsor of R U OK? Day embraced the campaign, as part of our ongoing commitment to build and change lives.
