On September 12th Buslink employees participated in R U OK? Day, whose vision is to create a world where we are all connected and are protected from suicide.
Over a morning coffee, Buslink employees heard and talked about the importance of watching out for their friends and workmates and starting a simple conversation like, “Are you ok?”

Suicide is a difficult topic to talk about however employees heard that, on average, 8 people in Australia take their own lives every day. A tragedy.
We don’t need to be experts, just good friends and great listeners. All events were well received and we hope the discussions around R U OK? provided everyone with some great takeaways.
