SUMMARY:Webinar: Anxious Self Advocacy for Individuals and Teens with Selective Mutism
DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar! Live Q&A! \n\n\n\nFor teens and young adults with Selective Mutism. \n\n\n\nTo register\, click below: \n\n\n\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CQ7u_eFrSNKZ_0F-dNIP5g \n\n\n\nWhen you have anxiety\, being able to advocate for your wants\, needs\, and goals can be especially difficult. In this webinar\, Jonathan Kohlmeier\, who has first-hand experience with selective mutism\, will talk about how teenagers and young adults with SM can practice self-advocacy in their daily lives. This talk will review how you can explain SM to others\, how to get a sense of your own anxiety goals\, and how to identity where self-advocacy can make those goals more obtainable.  \n\n\n\nPresenter: Jonathan Kohlmeier is from upstate New York and graduated from Babson College with a B.S. in Business Administration concentrating in Finance and Technology. He was diagnosed with selective mutism at age five and is passionate about helping the countless individuals and caregivers that face similar challenges. He has volunteered at multiple SM intensive treatment programs at both Kurtz Psychology Consulting and the Child Mind Institute. As an Ending the Silence speaker with the National Alliance on Mental Illness – Rockland\, Jonathan presents to students\, teachers\, and administrators about his lived mental health experiences. Additionally\, he often speaks to SM support groups and schools about his memoir on selective mutism called Learning to Play the Game: My Journey Through Silence. He was featured on PBS Keeping Kids Healthy and BBC Our World. Jonathan is excited to continue his outreach work with SMA. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.learningtoplaythegame.com

This webinar will take the same format as one of our favorite SMA annual conference events. Treating professionals\, parents\, caregivers\, school professionals and individuals with Selective Mutism are welcome! \n\n\n\nModerator: Katelyn Reed\, MS\, LLP \n\n\n\nThough Katelyn is well-versed in treating a variety of pediatric mental health concerns\, she is particularly passionate about helping children with Selective Mutism (and their families) to grow in their bravery and find their voices. Katelyn is the Director of Selective Mutism treatment at Thriving Minds Behavioral Health in Brighton and Chelsea\, MI. Because SM is a little-known condition\, parent- and school-education is considered an integral component to treatment to ensure that others who surround the child know how to best support the child in their growing bravery. Katelyn also serves as the Co-Director for the Confident Kids Camp (CKC) program and recently developed the CKC curriculum for teens. She is a proud member of the Board of Directors for the Selective Mutism Association (SMA)\, a role she has had since 2017.

DESCRIPTION:Please note times are in Eastern Time. \n\n\n\nLive Virtual Conference\n\n\n\nRegister Now \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\nConference Information\n\n\n\nThe Selective Mutism Association’s annual conference will be on October 1 and 2\, 2022 and will be held in a fully-virtual format. This online approach allows us to continue to offer innovative\, meaningful content\, to share advances in the assessment and treatment of SM\, and to connect with a wider audience of participants from across the world. We are also pleased to announce that we are continuing our dedicated track of content intended for individuals with SM (ages 17 and up). It will be a wonderful time of gathering for the selective mutism community to learn the latest in evidence-based information\, support one another and connect our community! \n\n\n\nAll sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing for 60 days for those who register for the conference. Although we hope you can attend the conference live\, if you cannot do that\, you can watch all sessions at a later date. For professionals wishing to obtain continuing education credits\, please note that these credits can only be obtained if you attend live conference sessions–you can not watch recorded sessions and obtain continuing education credits. You will not be able to register for the conference after the conference has passed to watch recorded sessions\, so be sure to register prior to the conference. \n\n\n\nSpecial Note to all Individuals with SM: \n\n\n\nSMA recognizes that resources for older individuals who have SM are scarce and thus\, for individuals with SM (ages 17 and older)\, SMA will be offering the Individuals with SM track for FREE! Individuals with SM will be able to attend our Individual track sessions on Saturday and then be able to return for our Hear Our Voices panel and Expert Q&A session on Sunday. Presentations for the Individuals with SM track will only be offered on Saturday\, October 1\, 2022 and the Hear Our Voices and Expert Q&A panel will be offered on October 2\, 2022. \n\n\n\nIndividuals with SM (geared toward ages 17 and older) may register for this track for free on our registration page. Please note that those that choose this option will only have access to the Individual Track (including the Hear Our Voices and Expert Q&A panel) and will not have access to the professional and caregiver-friendly tracks. For those registrants who would like access to all talks\, including the professional\, caregiver-friendly\, and individual tracks\, you will need to register for the entire conference. \n\n\n\nKeynote Address\n\n\n\nHelping Behaviorally Inhibited Young Children Come out of their Shells\, Andrea Chronis-Tuscano\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nDr. Chronis-Tuscano is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Maryland and Director of the Maryland ADHD Program and UMD SUCCEEDS College ADHD Clinic. Dr. Chronis-Tuscano’s research focuses broadly on understanding early predictors of developmental outcomes for children with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (including depression and alcohol/substance use) and developing novel treatments which target these early risk and protective factors. Much of this research has addressed issues related to maternal parenting and psychopathology (namely\, maternal depression and ADHD). A secondary line of research aims to examine the trajectory of young children displaying early behavioral inhibition\, including the development of psychopathology\, and to intervene by targeting key moderators of outcome (e.g.\, parenting and social relationships). \n\n\n\nDr. Chronis-Tuscano is the Past-President of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology; Associate Editor of the Journal of Consulting & Clinical Psychology; Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science; Fellow of the Association for Behavioral & Cognitive Therapies (ABCT); Fellow of the Society for Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology (SCCAP); former Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology; and standing member of the NIMH Mental Health Services Research (SERV) review committee. She is the recipient of multiple NIH grants and has served on several NIH review committees relevant to developmental psychopathology and interventions. \n\n\n\nDate and Location\n\n\n\nThe online live virtual conference will begin on Saturday\, October 1\, 2022 at 10:00 am ET and conclude on Sunday\, October 2 by 5:15 pm ET. \n\n\n\nConference Offers Professional\, Caregiver\, Individuals with SM (Ages 17 and up) Track The conference will offer presentations for professionals\, parents/family\, and individuals with SM\, but any person can attend any session that interests them. All registrants will have a choice of different presentations to attend. In addition to these sessions\, we will offer an Expert Q&A panel and a Hear Our Voices panel where people talk about their lives and recovery from SM. \n\n\n\nContinuing Education\n\n\n\nThis conference has been approved for continuing education credits.

SUMMARY:Child Mind Institute Brave Buddies Program
DESCRIPTION:Location: New York City\, exact location TBD \n\n\n\nAges: 3-12 \n\n\n\nDescription: Brave Buddies® is an intensive group behavioral treatment program designed to help children 3-12 years old with selective mutism (SM) speak in school and other public places. We create a classroom-like setting that offers children a safe environment to practice verbal participation\, or what we call “brave talking.” In the classroom\, we provide ample speaking opportunities and we tailor speaking goals to the individual needs of the child\, to target things like presenting\, spontaneous speech\, larger group interactions and community exposures. Our counselors are highly trained in PCIT-SM\, which is the treatment we use to help with brave talking. Parent training is an integral part of Brave Buddies®. \n\n\n\nContact: See our website for more information: https://childmind.org/care/areas-of-expertise/anxiety-disorders-center/brave-buddies-program/ and contact BraveBuddies@childmind.org for questions and information about next steps.
