Camp CHAT Intensive Program
Camp CHAT (Challenging High Anxiety of Talking) is an intensive therapeutic 1-week program for elementary school-age children with selective mutism. The program employs exposure response prevention techniques, cognitive behavioral principles, mindfulness skills, and PCIT-SM strategies to target children’s fear of talking. The environment of Camp CHAT is modeled after the traditional school setting, and children are provided continual positive reinforcement for their engagement in brave behavior and use of brave voices during “CHAT Challenges.” The program was first implemented in-person during August 2019. Camp CHAT will be held once again during August 2024. Please reference your interest in participating in the Camp CHAT Intensive Program in your referral form.
