Migraine awareness week September 5th - 10th 2022
Despite being recognised as one of the most disabling lifetime conditions, awareness and understanding are low. Migraine Awareness Week, beginning on the first Sunday in September aims to raise awareness of the condition, highlight its impact and our vital work to support the millions of people affected.
We need your help to raise awareness of migraine, so here are some ideas of how you can get involved.
Spread the word
What better time than Migraine Awareness Week to talk about migraine? Let’s challenge the stigma and misunderstanding of this often invisible and isolating condition.
Follow The Migraine Trust’s activity on Facebook and Twitter and join the conversation using hashtags #letsbeatmigraine and #migraineawarenessweek.
Visit our YouTube channel and share one of our videos via social media to help get people talking and thinking about migraine.
Check out these facts and figures about migraine and share those you’re most surprised by.
Challenge your friends to take our migraine quiz.
Talk to friends and family: Do they know you have migraine? What do they know about it? How can they support you? Do they have migraine too?
If you know someone who has migraine, or suspects they do, let them know about The Migraine Trust charity and our evidence-based information that they can access via our website, support services or by attending one of our regional events.
Share your story
We need case studies and stories from people who live with migraine.
