STEP 5 – Encouragement: Encourage students to keep using the app in school, at home or out and about to reinforce their strategies and Clear their Fear!

STEP 6 – Data insights: Access your school’s very own data insights dashboard to analyse uptake, impact and better understand the mental health of your school (restricted access)!
