People like Maddie. Maddie felt isolated when she was experiencing mental ill-health. In her culture there’s a lot of stigma surrounding mental health, which made it hard to talk about what she was going through. After attending a Batyr ‘Being Herd’ workshop, she learnt how to share her story with other young people; and that it’s okay to not be okay. Maddie felt empowered talking about her experiences and she left feeling proud of herself.

Batyr works to smash the stigma around mental by running engaging workshops in schools and universities. For every $3,500 donated to batyr, 150 high school students can attend their school programs that help young people look after their mates, start positive conversations around mental health and encourage them to reach out for support when they might need it.
