Stress Down Day is Lifeline's only national fundraising event, held on Friday 23rd July 2010.
Getting involved is as easy as wearing your slippers to work or school, dressing up or down on Stress Down Day.
Every minute a new call is made to Lifeline's 24 hour 13 11 14 crisis support service.
The money raised from donations will help pay for Lifeline's $1.4 million annual phone bill and train more telephone crisis support volunteers with the skills to answer calls from Australians in need of support.
Lifeline's 13 11 14 crisis suport service has been answering calls from Australians in need of help for over 47 years, so now we are asking you to THROW US A LIFELINE and make a donation.
