I’m Zee, I use he/him pronouns and I’m fortunate enough to be the Peer Mentor for 2BU on the ‘We’ve got this!’ project. I first joined 2BU as a young person where I found a community of supportive, likeminded people and made lifelong friends. I now support young people in the same way that 2BU supported me and I am so grateful to be a part of the wonderful 2BU team!

Since starting my role as peer mentor on the ‘We’ve got this!’ project, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible young people and being part of their journeys towards living as their authentic self. I am so inspired by their resilience and courage every day and could not be more proud of them for the achievements that they have made along the way.

‘We’ve got this!’ focuses on supporting 16-25 year olds to feel more positive about themselves through 1 to 1 meetings. It provides a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment to help young people express themselves and to feel more empowered about their mental health and life in general.
