Join the NIOS Facebook Education Group:

For updates, information, and/or to hear what others are doing with NIOS, go to the Not In Our School Facebook Group [1] and submit a request to join. We welcome the voices of youth and adults to engage in dialogue about education and ways to prevent and respond to bullying, hate and intolerance.

If you or someone you know is being bullied or harassed and needs immediate support:

NIOT works to promote dialogue and understanding and action to stand up to bullying and intolerance. However, we are not a counseling or direct support organization. We suggest if you or someone you know is being bullied or harassed in school, immediately seek support in addressing the situation. Start with your parents and the classroom teacher and if needed , go to the principal and up the chain of command all the way to the school board. Also, seek out local supportive organizations to assist you. 

For youth ages 12-24 who need support or are in crisis the North American Alliance of Child Helplines (NAACH) is a universal crisis portal to reach qualified, professional crisis counselors.
