R U OK? in Trucks & Sheds
Life’s ups and downs happen to us all. One thing we can all do is drive conversations with our workmates who might be doing it tough, to help them feel connected and supported.
For the second year in a row, R U OK? and Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds are encouraging workplaces in the road transport, warehousing and logistics industries to get the conversation wheels in motion.
It’s time to get your workplace involved in our industry day of action on 16 May 2023.
New, free resources are now available to download to help you organise your event and share the message.
