Role-Play with Grace
Rehearse STOP with Grace as your partner
What you'll do
Practicing STOP works best when you walk through a real-feeling scenario. Grace can play the role of someone you're in conflict with — a co-worker, a family member, a stranger online — so you can rehearse the four steps (Stop, Take a step back, Observe, Proceed mindfully) without finding a willing partner.

Practice builds confidence
Rehearsing challenging scenarios in a safe space lets your brain build new response patterns. The more you practice, the more naturally STOP shows up when you actually need it.
