batyr Lived Experience Storyteller Application

Welcome back!

We hope you gained a lot from the workshop experience, thank you for heading along! This expression of interest requires both a written form and video submission. This will help us understand a bit more about you, and should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

It is really important for us to ensure that you are in the best possible place to be trained up as a batyr storyteller so some of the questions will be asking about your mental health history and your current support.

Thinking about your current wellbeing and how you felt after sharing at the workshop, do you feel like this is the best time to be taking this next step to share your story publicly? If yes, why?

What does your current support network look like? This can include both personal and professional supports.

If you selected 'other', please provide further details

Seeing as the majority of our school programs are in school hours (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm), it would be great to understand more about your other commitments and availability. What does this look like for you currently, and for the next 6-12 months?

Note: if you work full time, please comment on your flexibility to have time-off during school hours for programs.

Video Submission

The next section requires you to answer 3 questions in a short intro video, so we can get to know more about you. Please limit your responses to no longer than 2 minutes per question, and make sure there is no loud background noise.

1. In two to three words, how would your friends or family describe you? You can refer back to the strength words chosen for you at the workshop

2. What drives you to take this next step to be trained as a Storyteller with batyr?

3. Can you share a little story about a positive experience you've had reaching out for support?

Please upload the video to YouTube and paste the direct link to your video below.

Here's a handy tutorial if it's your first time uploading your video to YouTube. Top tip: if you make your video 'unlisted', only people with the link will be able to watch it.
