This podcast is for those that have someone in their life affected by Selective Mutism. Whether you are a parent of a child with Selective Mutism, a teacher with an SM student, or a medical professional working with an SM patient, this podcast will give you an inside look at what Selective Mutism is and how a child can be supported to help them overcome this anxiety disorder.

Selective Mutism is not a well-known anxiety disorder. When people don't understand something, they may have a hard time believing in it. Our job as parents is to educate everyone who comes in contact with our child about SM, but to do it in a way where it is well received. In this episode, hear strategies that may help you educate your own family members about SM.
