Today is R U OK Day.
Not just the the one day on the calendar you're allowed to ask someone if they're OK, because that's everyday, but a day highlighting the issues of poor mental health in the community. If you're down the pub and you're worried about someone's mental health my best advice to you is: be genuine. Say: "This is what I've noticed. This is why I'm worried about you". Start the conversation. From there it could lead to a chat about the things that they're finding tough to deal with. And from there it could lead to any number of "therapies" - a psychologist, a men's shed, a men's group or even just a hug.
