Stymie provides anonymous reporting.

Stymie empowers young people with options to take action when they are feeling alone, or if they see or experience harm.

They can ask for help for themself, or make a notification as a bystander for someone else.

About us

Stymie is currently operating in over 200 Schools in Australia, New Zealand and The UAE. And we are just getting started!

It takes courage to say something or to ask for help.

Our focus is on breaking the cycle of harm through education, intervention and prevention. We know that the first step in breaking this cycle is to reduce the stigma associated with reaching out for help.

Stymie is available 24/7 and anonymous. It is easy to use and easy for schools to integrate into their wellbeing framework. We remain connected with our schools and the students with weekly touch points and follow up training that reaffirms the messages, support and guiding principles of our work. We provide expert training and guidance to onboard students, staff and the wider school community so that Stymieis utilised to its fullest potential, honourably and responsibly.
