Care and Support Updates

Updates on the latest clinical offerings from our centers in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.

December 15, 2022

With the holiday season upon us, it’s helpful to remember that social gatherings can be very challenging for kids with anxiety and behavioral disorders. This is particularly true for children struggling with selective mutism (SM).

Some kids with SM may express their worry or discomfort, while others may show it through their behavior (including meltdowns, whining, and clinginess). One strategy for parents of kids with SM is to be proactive and have a discussion with your child about expectations at family parties/ large gatherings.

Click here for tips on how to support these kids during the holiday season.

To learn more about treatment options for children struggling with anxiety or to schedule an evaluation, please reach out to us today.
