Batyr is a Sydney, New South Wales-based nonprofit focused on preventing youth mental health crises by using lived-experience storytelling and peer-to-peer education. The organization seeks to empower young people with the confidence and skills to support themselves and each other while fostering stigma-free communities that prioritize wellbeing. Its programs, including batyr@school and batyr@uni, train young storytellers and campus mental health advocates to reach more youth across Australia, supporting a broader aim that all young people lead mentally healthy and fulfilling lives. Operating in the nonprofit sector, batyr positions itself as a preventive mental health educator for youth, collaborating with schools, universities, and communities through youth-led initiatives. It partners with Swinburne University of Technology and LivingWorks Education Australia to deliver preventative programs to students and staff, and in 2025 began a youth mental health design challenge in partnership with Young Change Agents. In late 2025, Patrick darcy assumed the role of CEO after more than a decade with the organization.
