Welcome to Finding Our Voices

The selective mutism support magazine!

 

A magazine for all of you dealing with SM, whether you have SM yourself, are a family member, friend, teacher, professional or just want to find out more about the disorder.

Some articles in the magazine are written by myself (you can find out more about me on the About page) and some are written by others who are effected by SM.

Each issue there will be a different person writing about their personal experience with SM. If you would like to send in your story to share in the magazine, please go to the I Want To Help page for more details on how to send this in.

Finding Our Voices is a free online quarterly magazine. To view the most recent issue, go to the Magazine page and click on the link to download.

What is selective mutism?

Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder where the person is unable to talk in certain situations. They are capable of talking and can understand everything that is being said but may find themselves unable to respond because of the anxiety.

Here’s what you’ve been saying about it:

“Maggie Johnson says ‘Fabulous’ and Rae Smith from SMIRA’s Committee sends her congratulations!”

“I wish I could have read something like this when we first encountered SM! You’ve helped SO many with this magazine.”

“It is so professionally done, really informative”

“What a brilliant magazine, so much hard work, creativity and love has gone into this – it will be an inspiration for so many people”
