On Monday night they showed Australian
Story - if you haven't seen it, I would encourage you to
watch it when you have a moment.....
Some of you may recall Graeme Cowan spoke at our National
Conference on depression and he continues to forward information
through to his many contacts as he works tirelessly for the ongoing
education, understanding and appreciation of how we can all become
more aware of our friends and colleagues...... R U OK?
R U OK? song
Kirsty Chick, a film maker has used
social media to help organise a flash mob to perform the
RUOK? song written by Glenn Capelli, with his friend Steve
Woodsey which uses sign language.
Kirsty has secured Chris Sebastian (who has
struggled with depression) the brother of singer Guy, to lead a
FLASHMOB in Bourke St Melbourne opposite Myers, and sing Glenn's
RUOK?Day song. Glenn will coach everyone.
They have set up a Facebook Page especially to help organise
it. If you can attend fantastic. If not, then why not encourage
your Melbourne friends to attend. Wear something yellow.
