Servants Community Housing with Jayden Battey

Henry talks with Jayden Battey, a live-in house manager and communications manager for Servants Community Housing. Living alongside 28 adult men with experiences of acute psychiatric illness, disability, incarceration, homelessness and trauma, Jayden has a deep passion for understanding how relationships between diverse people can unlock new learnings, empathy, agency and personal transformation. His desire to better understand the potential for community engagement to address public health issues sees him travelling to India and Mexico in 2023, conducting research into community-led mental health recovery programs; and as an Australian representative at the UN-affiliated ASF Youth Summit in New York City.

This conversation was broadcast on 97.7FM Casey Radio in August 2023. Produced by Rob Kelly.
