Virtual Group Sessions
Our 1-hour Guided Virtual Get-Togethers are a place for tweens and teens with social anxiety or Selective Mutism to build social comfort, learn and practice evidence-based strategies, and meet peers who share in your teen’s experience. With facilitation from a trained clinician, attendees participate in planned games and activities that promote social engagement and initiation while in a fun, comfortable, and controlled environment.
Join us virtually every Thursday at 4 PM EST! Sessions are open to ages 10-18.
Participants do not have to be patients of the SMart Center. Registration is $50 per session, per attendee. Participants can choose to be on camera and/or use the chat feature – whatever is most comfortable. Parent participation is optional.
Our 1-hour Guided Virtual Get-Togethers are a place for children with social anxiety or Selective Mutism to build social comfort, learn and practice evidence-based strategies, and engage with similar-aged peers. With facilitation from a trained clinician, each session will feature a different theme or activity that participants will follow along with. The main objective of the group is to have children feel comfortable being in the same space as other children who are like themselves.

Our 1-hour virtual support group for caregivers of children and teens with Selective Mutism and anxiety disorders offers a compassionate space to focus on one’s well-being as a caregiver. The group sessions focus on fostering self-compassion, reducing guilt and shame, and connecting with other caregivers through the shared experience of raising a child experiencing anxiety. Participants will meet other caregivers experiencing similar feelings and experiences, which can enhance resilience in caregivers.
