SM Parent GroupYou are the agent of change.
You've tried waiting it out, encouraging, even bribing. You've answered for your child so they don't have to struggle. And you're left wondering, "Am I doing this wrong?" You're not. You just haven't been given the tools yet.
What group offers and how we tackle SM
How SM works: What keeps selective mutism going, and the key principles of treating it.
PCIT-SM skills: Learn skills and steps that help a child move from silence to speaking!
SPACE tools: SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a research-backed approach from the Yale Child Study Center. It helps parents change how they respond to anxiety, without forcing or rescuing.
Social communication: Learn how conversation and social skills fit into your child's treatment of SM.
Gain community support: Parents leave group empowered and well equipped to apply their new skills in the community. Parents often tell us connecting with families on the same road is the special piece to SM Parent Group.
