When someone you care about is struggling, it can be hard to know what to do.
Start with:
👂 Listening without trying to fix
💬 Gently encouraging them to talk to a professional if appropriate
🤝 Reminding them they’re not alone

Feeling off but not sure who to turn to?
Here’s a quick guide:
🔹 GP – for physical symptoms or assessment and referral for mental health support
🔹 Psychologist – for talking therapies, stress, anxiety or life challenges
🔹 Mental Health Clinic – for more complex needs or when outpatient support isn’t enough
You don’t need to figure it all out alone.

Mental health isn’t just the absence of illness - it’s how we cope, connect, and function day to day. It affects everything from sleep and stress to relationships and work.
Let’s talk about it more, without the stigma. At Ramsay Mental Health, we’re here to support you.

“I just can’t switch off.”
Anxiety can feel like a racing mind, a tight chest, or a sense of dread — even when there’s no obvious reason.
Signs may include:
• Constant worrying
• Trouble sleeping
• Restlessness or feeling on edge
• Difficulty concentrating
• Physical symptoms (racing heart, nausea, sweating)
• Avoiding certain places or people
Anxiety is common, but it’s not something you have to manage alone. We’re here to help.

It’s R U OK? Day 💛
You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference — just a good friend and a great listener.
At Ramsay Mental Health, we see the power of connection every day. A simple conversation - asking “Are you OK?” and truly listening - can be the first step toward someone getting the support they need.
If you notice a friend, colleague or loved one isn’t quite themselves, trust your gut and reach out.
It’s OK to ask. It’s OK to not be OK. And support is always available.
👉 Visit ruok.org.au for tips on how to start the conversation.
