Amy Benger - sponsor my climb and support better mental health for young people
Story
This Christmas I’m going to do something a little different... I’m going to trek to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro! For those who know me well you are probably not surprised. But rather than make this trip just about my own personal satisfaction of overcoming a huge challenge, I want to use this chance to make a difference in the lives of others.
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.
Mental health is crucial. Without good mental health I wouldn’t even be considering something like Mt Kilimanjaro! I know I am fortunate, and I know many people aren’t. And of course ill mental health is not just an issue in Australia, it’s all over the world.

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.
