While conversations around mental health have become more common, are they really reaching those who need help?

Today’s episode of Little Love Stories reminds us of the importance of checking in on mental health through initiatives like R U OK day?

Our guest today, Mamamia social media producer Sharn Jaye, shares her personal story of being asked the life-saving question, and bravely answering, 'No'. 

If you need support you can call Lifeline 24 hours a day on 13 11 14. Or talk to a counsellor at Beyond Blue.
