"I’ll be wearing my slippers on Stress Down Day to show my support Lifeline’s 24 hour telephone counselling line."

Name: Kate DeAraugo

Known for:

Singer and past Australian Idol Winner

Why I support Stress Down Day:

Because coming from a small community like Bendigo, I’ve seen the devastating affects that drought, natural disasters and isolation can have on people. I want to make sure that there are services like Lifeline available to provide support to people when times are tough.

What I like to do to stress down:

fishing, camping and being outdoors

My Stress Down Tip:

Talk to your family and friends and let them know how you are feeling. Things don’t seem so bad when you share your feelings with others.
