R U OK? Day is a National day of action dedicated to reminding the community to ask “Are you ok?” and support those who are struggling with mental health.  R U OK? Day is signified by the colour yellow and will be celebrated nationally on Thursday 8 September 2022.

Details of the Bathurst Regional Youth Council R U OK? Day 2022  initiative is as follows:

Tree trunks will be wrapped in yellow material, with R U OK? Day corporate logos included, the installation will occur from Thursday 8 September until Monday 19 September 2022 in Machattie Park and Kings Parade.

The Bathurst community is encouraged to view the trees from their cars or when walking through the parks; reflecting and recognising those who may be struggling with mental health and how a simple question as to how someone is going can assist greatly.
