Stymie promotes student wellbeing
We work with you to enable students to make anonymous notifications about themselves or their peers. Once the notification is made, the connected school receives the information via email, and responds according to their wellbeing framework. Stymie does not see or keep copies of your notifications.
Get in touchWhat schools are saying
Stymie gives our students the opportunity to do the right thing. It has empowered them to stand up for themselves, their friends and our entire school community.
Stymie has become an integral part of how we support student emotional health and wellbeing at Harristown.
Parents and students know that Stymie is reliable and confidential and that the message gets to the right people immediately so that action can be taken to support our students.
Students can use any internet-connected device to make a notification at any time
The web-app prompts students to write a short description of an incident involving harm. They can upload supportive screenshots of aggressive, threatening or harassing social media content or messages.
Stymie is a web application, meaning that students can access it via any internet browser. They do not have to download anything from a website or store.
Information for parents
Connecting Bystanders with Empathy and Courage
In 87% of cases of harm, there are bystanders present. While some students may feel comfortable talking to teachers and their carers about harm and bullying, many don’t.
Stymie allows bystanders to remain anonymous, giving them the courage to overcome the fears and social pressures that prevent them from supportively speaking up. It also relieves feelings of helplessness for students who want to help themselves or their peers but don’t quite know how.
