Brave Buddies® is designed to help children ages 3–12 and diagnosed with selective mutism overcome their anxiety and speak in any setting. Brave Buddies® is offered as a multi-day intensive program twice a year, and as one-day sessions several times throughout the year. We make it as easy as possible for children to use skills from the program year-round. Our classroom-like setting allows children to practice verbal participation, or what we call “brave talking,” in a safe and familiar environment. We provide ample speaking opportunities both in and out of the classroom, encouraging children to continue speaking publicly when the week is over.
