"Selective Mutism in Children & Adolescents – Understanding & Effective Interventions"

1 hour

Join us for a 1-hour webinar focused on Selective Mutism (SM) in children and adolescents. This session will dive into

     a. What Selective Mutism is – identifying the signs and symptoms, and understanding                  how it differs from shyness or social anxiety
     b. Causes and risk factors – exploring the anxiety triggers, family dynamics, and                                environmental influences that contribute to SM
     c. The importance of community goals – how fostering a supportive environment both at            home and in school can empower children to overcome communication challenges
     d. School interventions – strategies for teachers and parents to collaborate effectively,                  including gradual exposure and creating a safe space for communication
     e. Effective strategies for support – therapeutic approaches, behavioral interventions,                  and practical tools to help children engage with others.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, therapist, or caregiver, this 1-hour session will equip you with insights and strategies to support children and adolescents with Selective Mutism.
