Story
Hi there!
This summer I am swimming with Babewatch, a group that is encouraging young people to get involved with ocean swimming. We are swimming in a variety of oceans swims throughout summer raising money and awareness for Batyr, a mental health charity that encourages young people to speak out about mental health.
This cause is close to home, as someone who has struggled with there own mental health problems and had trouble speaking out and asking for help.
This is my first time ocean swimming, and would love support on this challenging journey.
Thanks so much for your support!

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.
