We proudly celebrated the success of our co-design workshops with R U OK? at the media launch, highlighting the expansion of multicultural mental wellbeing resources through bilingual, bicultural community efforts.
Held on 25 June, the media launch celebrated the outcomes of the mental health resources we co-designed with R U OK? through four workshops held between November 2025 to March 2026.

The resources, including conversation starter posters and the message “你不是一个人面对, 你还好吗 (You are not alone, R U OK?)”, were designed and refined through discussions and engagement with members of the Chinese community members that we facilitated. The in-language and culturally responsive messages encourage Chinese community to stay connected and engage in conversations that can support others through tough times.
Following the launch of CASS H-Line Non-Crisis Hotline in 2021, this partnership represents another initiative supporting the mental wellbeing of the Chinese community. We aim to raise awareness and encourage early help-seeking among members of the Chinese community through this partnership with R U OK?, a not-for-profit organisation promoting mental health awareness and education within the community.
Present at the media launch was the R U OK? team, including CEO Lachlan Searle and Community Development Manager Maria Calocerinos.
