When a young person is struggling, the adults around them often wonder: “What can I do?” You don’t need all the answers. Tim and his mum Lisa share what helped them navigate mental health challenges & why listening, connection & support matter 💙 #parent #teacher #highschool

The Stories Behind 4 of batyr's Sydney Marathon Runners

The Stories Behind 4 of batyr's Sydney Marathon Runners

Training for a marathon asks a lot of you. Months of early alarms. Long runs when you'd rather stay in bed. Pushing through discomfort, doubt and fatigue. So why do it? For some of this year’s TCS...

Mid-year O'Week wrapped! 💥 Thanks to @Swinburne, @UTSEngage and @Sydney_Uni for having us on campus. We loved meeting so many students, sharing what batyr is all about, and kicking off the semester with some great conversations. 💙 #university #studentlife #youthmentalhealth

For many young #FirstNations people, wellbeing is deeply connected to the things that make them feel grounded, supported & proud of who they are. ❤️🖤💛 Supporting young people is about creating the conditions where they can grow, connect and thrive. #youthmentalhealth

Back in April, young people from regional & rural Australia came together to shape the future of youth mental health. We're sharing the recommendations they developed, calling for more prevention, earlier support & community-led solutions.  Read more: batyr.com.au/young-people-ar…

Ben lives with #socialanxiety & doesn’t rehearse his story before speaking at schools 💙 For him it’s about being present & accepting that small mistakes are okay. If you’re interested in sharing your #livedexperience, complete a free Being Herd workshop: batyr.com.au/being-herd

If you could ask any anime or manga character for advice… who would it be? 👀✨ For many people, #anime & #manga are more than entertainment - they can be a source of inspiration, comfort, motivation & connection.💙  #smashcon #cosplay #onepiece

We asked people at @smashcon what makes the anime and manga community feel so welcoming. One theme stood out: it's a place where you can stop worrying about fitting in and simply be yourself. 💙 #cosplay #anime #manga #smashcon #popculture #mentalhealth #belonging

"What does cosplay mean to you?" 💙 We asked cosplayers at @smashcon & their answers were about so much more than costumes. From self-expression to finding your people, cosplay creates spaces where people can show up as themselves. 🫶 #smashcon #cosplay #youthmentalhealth

During #NAIDOCWeek, we spent time listening to young people - not to lead the conversation, but to learn from it. We also heard a clear message: if we want better mental health outcomes, we need to keep listening to young people. Read more: batyr.com.au/what-young-peop… #FirstNations

“Why is it important to celebrate and learn from First Nations cultures?” 💛 We took this question to #NAIDOCWeek celebrations yesterday in Wyong on Darkinjung land and the answers say it all - take a moment to listen.

At batyr, storytelling is at the heart of what we do & it’s important to recognise First Nations peoples as the original storytellers, sharing knowledge, culture & connection through stories for tens of thousands of years. There’s so much we can learn from that 💙

We also acknowledge that the audio in this video isn't as clear or accessible as we'd hoped. Unfortunately, our microphones had other plans! Despite the tech hiccup, we want to share the voices of the incredible young people we spoke to.
