Stephanie’s Story
Hi, I'm Steph, head of Global Impact at Batyr. At Batyr, we run preventative mental health programs in schools, universities and communities for young people by young people.
In Australia, we train young people to learn how to share their lived experience stories in a really safe and impactful way to help others.
So in Australia, I'd say a lot of really good things are happening in the mental health space.
Kyra’s Story
My name is Kyra Ballesteros, and I am the deputy for research and innovation with the volunteer-run, non-government, non-stock, and non-profit civil society organization, Mental Health PH, based in the Philippines.
The recently released Philippine Development Plan 2023-28 ensures that mental
health continues to be a priority area for investments, interventions, and for program and project-level funding across sectors.
