Nintendo Australia continues to observe R U OK Day? every year in September. R U OK? Day was established by the harm prevention charity, R U OK?, as a day to raise awareness and create an environment where it is easier to talk about mental health by asking if the people around you are OK. In 2022, Nintendo Australia marked this day by delivering snacks and wristbands with the R U OK? logo to every staff member as a way to ask, “R U OK?”
