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.
The batyr Run for the Herd initiative encourages people to take charge of their health and fitness, whilst also supporting youth mental health and the programs we run, that break down the stigma around mental health and encourage young people to reach out for supported when needed.
This Mental Health Month we're asking you to join us as we run, walk or move for the herd to help make a difference!
