Upcoming CommuniCamp™ Dates:
CommuniCamp™ for Teens
Sound On to hear Dr. E speak about our CommuniCamp™ for Teens program!
For tweens/teens 12-17 years old. (Some exceptions can be made for 18 and 19-year-olds upon clinician approval).
It can often be challenging for older children and teenagers with Selective Mutism and social anxiety to agree to participate in a group treatment program like CommuniCamp™. This is a widespread barrier to treatment, so rest assured you and your child are not alone!
CommuniCamp™ for Teens delivers the motivation for success and will address all aspects of life, including (but not limited to):
- Starting and joining conversations.
- Making friends.
- Participating in class.
- Job interview skills.
- Text/email/social media.
- Asking others for help.
- Standing up for themselves.
- Talking to strangers (like servers) without anxiety.
- Initiating conversations
- Building self-confidence.
- Understanding themselves.
There is no restriction based on a teen’s social communication level (i.e., Camper’s communication levels range from shut-down and non-communicative, to nonverbal and somewhat communicative, to verbal).
Based on the SMart Center’s 20+ years of experience treating Selective Mutism using Social Communication Anxiety Treatment® (S-CAT®), the evidence-based treatment approach created by world-renowned Selective Mutism expert, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum, we will help your tween or teen build the social communication skills necessary for school, the real world, and at home.
