In April 2025, OTR will launch The OTR Academy, a strategic initiative to empower the community with essential self-care and mental health skills, starting with our volunteers and expanding out to the larger community. OTR Academy aims to equip the community with empathy and listening skills through its Circle-of-Care™ model, empowering Wellbeing Champions and Wellbeing Mentors to support mental wellness within their networks.

Through the Academy, we aim to bring holistic wellbeing practice to the wider community and empower every person to take charge of their own mental wellbeing and to support each other.

Volunteer with us and be part of the movement to make mental well-being a life priority!
