batyr is a for-purpose preventative mental health organisation, created and driven by young people, for young people. Our programs address “the elephant in the room” in a unique and relatable way for young audiences, utilising trained speakers with a lived experience with mental ill-health. We smash the stigma surrounding mental health and empower young people to reach out - building mental health literacy, improving help seeking, and connecting schools and students with pathways to care. batyr aims to engage, educate and empower young people and their support networks, giving them the knowledge and skills to lead mentally healthy lives.
