R U OK? Day – Friendship Trivia

It’s never been more important to check-in with friends and ask ‘Are you okay?’ Whether it’s helping study for exams, grabbing a coffee in-between classes, or going on a weekend adventure together, friends are one of the strongest support networks around! We're also more likely to reach out to our friends first when we’re not feeling okay. Even if we can’t catch up in person right now, let’s celebrate the power of friendship and make sure we're staying in the know with how our friends are going.

Join us for friendship trivia!

This R U OK? Day (Thursday 9 September), you’re invited to join us for ‘Friendship’ themed online trivia, run by your Deakin Wellbeing Ambassadors. Wear something yellow to show your support for R U OK? Day, and answer questions about fantastic sidekick duos, movie characters, historic acts of camaraderie and more.

We have some great prizes up for grabs, including Uber Eats, Rebel Sport and Target vouchers. Make sure you’re dressed in yellow to impress our Wellbeing Ambassador MC’s, and you might grab yourself a ‘best dressed’ prize! Prize terms and conditions below.

Joining the event

This event will be run online via Zoom, with questions delivered through online trivia platform Kahoot. Attendees will be provided with Zoom login details upon Eventbrite registration, and Kahoot logins will be shared during the event.

R U OK? Day – A conversation could change a life.

R U OK? Day (Thursday 9 September 2021) is an annual day to remind us to reach out to those in our world who may be struggling. You don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a great listener.

The 2021 R U OK? Day theme is 'Are they really OK? Ask them today.'

There’s a heap of helpful resources to assist you in asking the question to friends and loved ones, as well as where to get help. Don’t know how to approach the conversation with someone you think may be struggling? Check out R U OK's helpful guides here.
