R U OK? The signs that someone is doing it tough might not be obvious. Connection and kindness can help them feel less alone. It might take someone a while to open up about how they’re feeling.

Parkes Early Childhood Centre Inc: Children and staff enjoyed listening to Senior Constable Mullins about keeping safe on our bikes. We also had our helmets checked by Haylee and Kylie from Transport NSW. Did you know that children aged under 12 years must ride on the footpath when out with their families in the community? We had so much fun!
