R U OK? Day was held on Wednesday 14 September and this year headspace Bairnsdale staff, Faith and Brydie, visited staff and students at Orbost Secondary College. They spoke to the whole school about R U OK? Day, why it’s important to check in with yourself as well as with others, and shared some tips for a healthy headspace.
 
There were good vibes at lunch time when the Orbost Secondary College staff cooked up a free barbeque lunch for the students, and the school band played some tunes for the young people to enjoy.

Faith and Brydie also had a chance to catch up with the school wellbeing team to check in, offer support and share resources.

It was a great day with lots of young people chatting to Faith and Brydie about headspace Bairnsdale, how they can access the service and of course taking some freebies and information away with them.
