Boardgames | R U OK 2 Play? support event. Melb CBD 18-25s | 6.30pm Start

Our regular boardgames spot is honoring a special cause for R U Ok to Play? cause, raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. The format is the same casual gaming with an emphasis on connecting.

From the organisers: Not only are tabletop games fun, they are a great way to combat social isolation and improve mental health.
Sitting around a table with a shared activity can create a great sense of togetherness and games provide an amazing buffer if you find socialising difficult. Even though interaction is encouraged by the nature of a game, standard pleasantries and the need for small talk is eliminated and connecting with others becomes easier. Immersing yourself in a game is also a great way to get your brain thinking about things other than the usual ups and downs of life.

R U OK 2 Play? events will be running across the country for which Sidequest is pleased to support. No donations are required. Standard entry fee applies. Come along and get connected. If you are having a mental health crisis, please call Lifeline on: 13 11 14 24/7
or speak to your GP
