"For many Australians, a call to Lifeline can be lifesaving - that's why I support Stress Down Day."

Why I support Stress Down Day:

Because I know how important it is to have access to mental health support. My family has been touched by depression in the past, and mental health concerns affect 1 in 5 Australians. I want to make sure that Lifeline is always available, 24 hours a day, for anyone who needs support.

What I like to do to stress down:

If I feel like I'm going to blow my top, I go and do some exercise until I calm down. If I'm really stressed, I find that yoga, meditation and stretching really helps.

My Stress Down Tip:

Do something about it before it gets too bad, if you feel tension rising nip it in the bud. If you're feeling down in the dumps talk to someone about it - "A problem shared is a problem halved."
