What is batyr?
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.

By supporting batyr, we’re 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, we are keeping young people from reaching the point of crisis and changing lives.

Why am I fundraising for batyr?
I experienced domestic and family violence from a young age which led me to being placed into foster care. Later in life I was diagnosed with multiple invisible disabilities. This considerably impacted my mental health as a young person, and I am passionate about batyr's goal of sharing story to reduce the stigma of mental ill health. I truly believe in batyr's mission to educate young people about the impacts of mental ill health and how to access crucial resources.
