As a Miss Teen Galaxy National Finalist Aus I am raising awareness and funds for batyr as in Australia, 1 in 4 young people experience mental-ill health, and rates of psychological distress have increased in the last decade. Tragically, suicide is the leading cause of death for young people. As a Teen I have experienced mental health struggles and i know how prevalent it is in society especially in young people that I wanted to make a difference. It can be really difficult being a teen and struggling with mental health, having a platform like batyr that is designed for young people by young people is extremely powerful. I have realised how important and essential it is to look after your mental health and sometimes that can be in the form of physical activity. So I am giving myself a challenge I will be walking 10km a day for the next 10 days for everyone struggling with mental health in hope that people can reach out for support. I would greatly appreciate any donations made that go towards helping empower young people with the confidence and skills to get through tough times and look out for their mates. Through sharing lived experience stories and peer-to-peer education, batyr are keeping young people from reaching the point of crisis and changing lives. Any donation big or small can help make a difference to changing the stigma around mental health and speaking about the elephant in the room.
