batyr@Swinburne Staff Wellbeing Program 🐘

Join batyr's wellbeing workshop designed for academic and professional staff. This session will focus on managing your own mental health while fostering a supportive environment for both colleagues and students. 

batyr is a for-purpose, preventative mental health organisation that champions a peer-to-peer approach, empowering individuals to seek help and support when they need it.

This is the first year of Swinburne's official partnership with batyr, offering a timely opportunity to reflect on how you support yourself and those around you.

What you'll get out of this interactive session:

• A supportive environment to learn and discuss mental health challenges specific to staff and students

• Insights into the student experience through hearing a lived-experience storyteller share their story and what improved their mental health

• Practical self-care strategies to support your own mental health, while also supporting your students’ wellbeing

• Techniques to help you distinguish between what’s within your control and what isn’t

• Tools for creating safe spaces where students feel comfortable seeking help with their mental health & explore the support services available at Swinburne

• A Q&A panel including perspectives from Swinburne's Health Service, a batyr lived-experience expert, and a lived-experience storyteller

This is a valuable opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, deepen your understanding of wellbeing, and walk away with practical tools to support your wellbeing and that of your peers.
