Parent Training Groups for Selective Mutism

We are leading online parent and caregiver skills training groups. The purpose of these groups is to provide you coaching in PCIT-SM, our evidenced-based intervention for selective mutism. These practice sessions will help you better facilitate your child’s verbal exposures on your own. Each session will target a specific PCIT-SM skill (see schedule below) that we will practice together with therapist feedback. There will be home practice assignments between sessions. These groups also will provide an opportunity for parents and caregivers to connect with other families who are undergoing similar challenges.

Upcoming Groups
