Selective Mutism (SM) is an anxiety-based mental health disorder that can severely impact children and adults. Without treatment, SM may persist into adulthood and lead to additional disorders such as Social Anxiety and Depression. Early treatment is often highly effective.
SMiRA is run by a Management Committee of twelve voluntary members who share control and legal responsibility. Our community has over 24,000 members worldwide and has a significant impact as a small charity.
