IHAW - Ways to Participate

The Idiopathic Hypersomnia Awareness Week is 1-7 June! We encourage everyone to participate. Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, there are ways you can get involved.

Time poor? The first 3 are the easiest ways you can help raise awareness.

1. Like, share and comment on our social media posts. It's really that easy to help raise awareness. You can find the IHAW on Facebook page,  X (Twitter) and Instagram. 
   

2. Change your profile pic or add a frame. You can download one of the IHAW profile pics from the IHAW webpage or you can add a frame to your photo.
   

3. Take part in the #MoreThanIH Project. Fill out a short questionnaire, and send in a photo! We'll format a special #MoreThanIH graphic that you can share on your social media. This initiative is a collaboration with IH Day, led by the Hypersomnia Foundation.
   

4. Got a little more time and would like to tell you story? If you are struggling to know where to start or need help writing you story reach out! You may also find inspiration from other stories here.
   

5. Share info graphics. You can find them in our social media toolkit. We have them in 13 languages.
   

6. Share the IH Factsheet. You can download a PDF here. Images of the IHAW IH Factsheet can be found on our social media.
   

7. SHARE A SELFIE WITH YOUR IHAW T-SHIRT OR MUG. Don't forget to use the #LivingwithIH hashtag and tag the IHAW when you post your selfie. Check out the designs available in HA's Store. NOTE: Because we are unable to buy in bulk (we do not sell enough of them) we DO NOT make any money from these items. We sell them purely to help raise awareness.
