Hop on the train of wellbeing

THE Dubbo Train Station was gleaming with yellow on Thursday, September 14, as the community supported RU OK? Day. RU OK? Day is an annual event that encourages people to ask their loved ones if they’re okay, promoting awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

The XPT train was branded with the RUOK logo as it made its way from Sydney to Dubbo and back again. Camilla Kenny from the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program says it’s a way to get the message out to all of the communities it travels through and getting those on board to have those conservations.
