R U OK?
Sally Morris • January 13, 2025
I’m happy to share that have been engaged as a consultant at R U OK? to support the development of their LGBTIQ+ engagement strategy!
R U OK? is a national suicide prevention charity that delivers health promotion to build the motivation and confidence of help givers to meaningfully connect with the people who may be struggling with life.
While R U OK? provides whole of population messages they acknowledge that there are populations, including the LGBTIQ+ communities, who experience higher rates of suicide that benefit from tailored information, messages and resources.
R U OK? has been developing and delivering health promotion messages specifically to the LGBTIQ+ communities since 2017 and has an ongoing commitment to ensuring that our resources are effective in reaching and meeting the needs of the LGBTIQ+ communities.
I will be developing consultation activities over the next few months, so keep an eye out for opportunities to share your ideas on how R U OK? can better reach and engage LGBTIQ+ people and communities in their suicide prevention heath promotion programs and campaigns.

In years gone by this wasn’t an important day to me, but in September 2023 after a long fertility journey my partner and I welcomed into the world a little bub.
We would like to share with you all that after 7 years we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Wendybird.
The irony of suicide is that the experience could never be subjectively verified; the person was no longer alive to add to the discussion. What remained of their identity would collide with the bureaucratic instruments set up to police and manage the aftermath.
