RU OK?

RU OK Mate? It’s a simple question that can save lives. Yet, what is said after this question is sometimes the hardest part to navigate. It’s why we partnered with suicide prevention charity RU OK? and Google to create a Voice Assistant Application that helps Australians with the difficult conversation that comes after a friend answers, ‘No, I’m not ok’.

By simply saying ‘Hey Google, Talk to RU OK Mate’,on their Google Home or Google Assistant, users can then role play five conversations where someone might be struggling, and then learn the best way to approach each scenario.

To launch the app, we also worked with 7 time world surfing champ Layne Beachley who speaks openly about her struggle with mental health throughout her career.
