Held on Wednesday November 7th, 2018. National Stress Awareness Day is run by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA). Their web page on National Stress Awareness Day is available here for more information: https://isma.org.uk/national-stress-awareness-day

Throughout October, we are asking our supporters to carry an item of their choosing for a full 24hours, to represent the invisible burden that people with mental health difficulties carry every single day.
How to take part:
1) Choose an item to carry for a full day! Perhaps you have a giant teddy bear? An orange teapot? An exercise ball? Perhaps a tin of beans?! Maybe it’s something that means something to you about your mental health. Feel free to get creative with this.
2) Start the day with posting a selfie with your object online, stating “I’m Carrying the Burden to support Leeds Mind because…” (example: I’m Carrying the Burden to support Leeds Mind because I want to support other people like me who struggle with depression #CarrytheBurden)
3) Share your updates throughout the day, using the hashtag #CarrytheBurden
4) Finish your day with your final update, making a donation to Leeds Mind, and nominate 3 friends to take on the challenge during October.
