Selective Mutism Selective Mutism is an anxiety disorder in which patients struggle to speak in some social situations where speaking is expected, despite speaking comfortably in other settings. This condition has the potential to negatively impact a child’s academic and social performance. Group therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for children struggle with Selective Mutism. Groups are designed to facilitate Brave Speaking Challenges (exposures) to provide the patients with opportunities to increase their communication and comfort in situations that are similar to school, play, and community settings in which they tend to struggle in their day-to-day lives. Group activities include participation in arts and crafts, play-date practice, sports and movement activities, field trips to local establishments, and simulated classroom settings. Volunteers will be trained in behavioral principles and protocols to support children diagnosed with Selective Mutism. Volunteers will assist in facilitating group activities, as well as work directly with the patients to help them meet their speaking goals. Volunteers will be actively supervised throughout each group. When: Wednesdays 4:45-5:45 PM Who to contact: Sol Wahba, Ph.D.; sol.wahba@nyulangone.org PEERS PEERS ® is a caregiver-assisted social skills group for teens age 13 to 17 who are interested in learning ways to help them make and keep friends. Participants and their parent or social coach meet each week for 90 minutes over a 15-week period. Groups are offered in-person. During group therapy, participants learn proper conversation skills, including how to start, enter, and exit conversations; how to assess and use humor; and how to communicate appropriately over email, text, or other electronic communication. We also discuss how to choose the right friends, organize successful get-togethers with your peers, and how to handle arguments and disagreements with friends. Bullying, teasing, rejection, gossip, and cyberbullying are also addressed. Each group therapy session includes instruction, modeling, coaching, and ongoing feedback. Teens learn skills through in-group rehearsal and homework, which helps build confidence and solidify new skills. Volunteers will participate in consultation with the clinicians, learn and utilize behavioral techniques with group participants, and engage in rehearsals (modeling) with the group leader to demonstrate to the teens how to implement each skill. Who to contact: Corrine McCarthy, Psy.D.; corrine.mccarthy@nyulangone.org Social Emotional Learning The social-emotional group is a weekly group that focuses on various skills to support adolescent development.

The volunteer(s) will help facilitate group discussion and transfer of skills to group members, implement behavior modification principles to encourage skill use and participation, and collaborate with the treatment team.
