It is important to share our stories of living with Selective Mutism or any other condition. Sharing helps create a community and raises awareness for SM. It lets other people see that they are not alone in their struggles, and we can support them through difficult times. Sharing our stories can break the stigma around mental health. By sharing, we are showing people that we do not have to be ashamed of our mental illness. Sharing our story can bring healing to our own lives. (This is a great article our sharing your story!)
So, I am introducing a new page on the SMAware website! You can read other's stories or share your own story of living with Selective Mutism or another Mental Illness. If you want to share your story there is a lot of freedom and flexibility, but here are some basic guidelines for sharing your story.
