One in five Australians have experienced mental health issues.
What that means for individuals is that many of us struggle daily, and often silently.
For businesses and organisations, it means we must take steps to care for – genuinely care for – our people and our patrons. This is especially true for the service industries where day-to-day interactions are face-to-face. And people reaching out to other people, to have a one-on-one conversation about how they are feeling, is a crucial step forward.
In today’s busy lifestyles, mental health remains an uncomfortable topic for many, and these conversations can be difficult or awkward, which was a key reason for us to create OK2PLAY?
- OK2PLAY?’s technology platform is a mechanism to provide support for any mental health area in which a patron or member in a hospitality venue recognises they are struggling or may need support.
- OK2PLAY? – a digital technology that assists businesses and organisations to check in on their patron’s/communities mental wellbeing quickly and easily helping to normalise the conversation of asking for support.
- OK2PLAY? means reaching out for support is a touch-of-a-button or a scan of a QR code away, and it is the simplicity of the OK2PLAY? concept that is the key to its success.
- OK2PLAY?’s technology is simple to action while private, confidential, non-confrontational and non-judgmental – all things someone requiring help may fear driven by embarrassment, awkwardness and the difficulty of asking for help
- The OK2PLAY? technology platform is a mechanism to provide support for any mental health area in which a patron or member recognises they are struggling.
In an era where one in five Australians suffer with mental health, can we really afford not to use technology at this time – OK2PLAY? – Let’s talk about it.
