We’re proud to continue our partnership with Batyr with Mindset Matters directly supporting their amazing work to help young people to lead a mentally healthy and fulfilling life.
Batyr is an Australian-based mental health charity that was founded in 2011 by Dave Nixon, who saw a need for change in how young people perceived and discussed mental health. The name “Batyr” is derived from a Kazakh folktale hero who was known for his storytelling abilities, emphasizing the power of personal stories in promoting mental well-being.
One of Batyr’s primary goals is to break the silence and stigma surrounding mental health. They believe that storytelling is a powerful tool for change. By encouraging young individuals to share their personal experiences with mental health challenges, Batyr helps others realise that they are not alone in their struggles.
Through the power of storytelling and open conversations, they are reducing stigma, providing support, and ultimately improving the mental well-being of countless individuals. Their work is a testament to the positive impact that a dedicated and compassionate organisation can have on the world of mental health.
