Stress Down Day!

July 26, 2012

This Friday 27th July is the national Stress Down Day – an initiative of Lifeline Australia.  Lifeline Australia encourages everyone to stress less and to feel better – whether you wear your Stress Down slippers all day, go to work in your pyjamas or have a stress free morning tea – the choices are endless – just as long as you stress less and have fun.

Stress Down Day is a fundraising event to help cover the cost of running Lifeline’s 24 hour telephone counselling line – 13 11 14.  Forget Casual Friday, why not suggest Stress Down Thursday at your workplace this week?   Workplaces participate by enjoying a day of stress reducing activities, including wearing casual dress to work, in exchange for a donation to the cause.

Lifeline have also put together a few fact sheets – a handy guide to overcoming stress and some information about stress.

You can read more about the cause and ways you can get involved here.

Wishing you a stress free week!
