Hey everyone !
Today, I wanted to raise awareness for a rather unknown day - RUOK? Day. It is an annual day in September that occurs on the second Thursday, which just so happens to be today !
The day is dedicated to reminding everyone to check up on friends, family and just people in general. All it asks of you is asking, in a meaningful way, if these people are okay. For people who are struggling, this simple question can be something to make a big difference in their struggles. It is also something that everyone can do and it doesn't cost anything at all.
With more events and acts of kindness like RUOK?, we can help to reduce the amount of mental health that people suffer from. Let your loved ones know that you care - today!
And why stop there? Let your love and kindness spread to VP! If you happen to see anyone who appears upset or making a lot of sad posts around the website, why not just type a quick message or guestbook comment? All it takes is a simple "Are you okay? You can talk to me, if you like".
Even if they don't accept your offer, they know that you're thinking about them and that you know they exist. Sometimes, that's all it takes.

Got any suggestions about what types of forums the team can do that you think would be good?
