STYMIE LAUNCH | MENTAL HEALTH WEEK
As part of Mental Health Week, Nerang State High School has introduced Stymie, an anonymous reporting platform designed to empower young people to speak up about bullying, harm, wellbeing concerns and other behaviours that may be impacting themselves or their peers.
Mental Health Week is an important reminder that speaking up, checking in and seeking support can make a real difference. The introduction of Stymie provides our students with another safe way to reach out when they are concerned about themselves or someone else.
The word Stymie means “to stop” and that’s exactly what the platform aims to do. Students can anonymously report concerns, which are securely delivered to authorised staff at the school so appropriate support can be provided.
The introduction of Stymie follows feedback from our students, who told us they wanted a safe and anonymous way to raise concerns.
A big thank you to Rachel Downie, founder of Stymie, for speaking with our students and staff today and helping us introduce this important initiative during Mental Health Week.
Students can make an anonymous notification through Stymie here: https://stymie.com.au
