Story

Throughout this summer I am swimming with an ocean swimming group called Babewatch. We are fundraising for Batyr, a cause that is close to my heart. 

Batyr seeks to engage, educate and empower young people by making a positive change to the mental health of young Australians through speaking out about social and mental health issues.

This is a fantastic charity for a very important cause. We all know people suffering from mental health issues. Batyr is helping break the stigma and giving a voice to the elephant in the room - mental health. 

When swimming with Babewatch we wear bright pink swimmers to help raise awareness. 


Any donation big or small would go a long way.

    batyr

    Despite 1 in 4 young people suffering a mental health issue by the end of adolescence, mental health issues are not openly discussed and remain the ‘elephant in the room’. Of every 30 students in Australia, seven will be dealing with a mental health issue, yet only two will reach out for support, leaving five suffering in silence. Sadly, most young people dealing with mental health issues do not reach out for help, largely due to stigma. batyr is a for purpose preventative mental health organisation, created and driven by young people, for young people.

    We reduce the stigma surrounding mental ill health and empower young people to reach out for support. We help create communities that support young people’s mental health and wellbeing. batyr's vision is a world where all young people are engaged in positive conversations about mental health and empowered to reach out for support when needed. We do this by engaging young peopleto talk about mental health and wellbeing. Educating through the sharing of young people’s lived experience stories and empowering young people by giving them the knowledge and skills to lead mentally healthy lives.
