Scott Morrison will today announce funding of $2.8 million to a school-based mental health program, after pledging to reduce youth suicide during the election.

 

The funding commitment will expand the online footprint of Batyr Australia, a preventative mental health organisation created by University students.

 

Batyr has previously focused on early intervention through storytelling at school, however Morrison says the funding will help the organisation deliver front-line services for at-risk young people.
