If someone asked you if you were okay, what would you say? 

If the answer is no, you wouldn't be alone. But it's what happens immediately after that moment, that could change your life forever. 

This R U OK? Day we hear from Sharn, who in her 'no moment' was saved by a phone call, and from an expert about what we can do when someone tells us they're not okay. 

If you or someone you know is not OK, consider contacting Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636
