October is Selective mutism awareness month. To raise awareness and support practitioners and parents Danielle from SM wa has developed this fabulous rescource

Supporting Children with Selective Mutism

*A practical webinar for parents and caregivers*

✨ About this Workshop

Some children speak freely and comfortably in certain spaces, yet find it much harder to use

their voice in other settings or with unfamiliar people. This experience is often described as

Selective Mutism (SM) or Situational Mutism.

For parents, this can feel confusing and worrying—wanting to support your child while not

increasing their stress.

This 1-hour introductory webinar will help you understand what’s happening beneath the

silence, and offer everyday strategies to support your child’s confidence, safety, and

connection.

Led by Danielle Cottam, Speech Pathologist and founder of Selective Mutism Western Australia, this session provides reassurance, clarity, and practical next steps.

Children with high autonomy needs or PDA-like profiles often experience the world differently. Everyday requests can feel overwhelming, leading to avoidance, distress, and behaviours that may appear defiant.

At Play Therapy with Evonne, we understand that these behaviours are not about defiance. They are a form of communication. When we can respond with curiosity and compassion, we begin to see what sits underneath, the need for safety, understanding, autonomy, and connection.

🌱 Understand the “why” behind demand avoidance

As social workers, we show up every day to support others through life’s most challenging moments. But who supports you? 🤔

That’s where social work supervision comes in.

Professional supervision is a requirement for continued membership of the AASW. It’s also a space for our reflection, growth, and emotional wellbeing.

It helps prevent burnout, strengthens confidence, and ensures we can continue to provide ethical, client-centred care without depleting ourselves.

💡 In our latest blog, we explore:

✔️ Why professional supervision is essential for social workers
✔️ How it prevents compassion fatigue and burnout
✔️ The role of supervision in private practice success
✔️ What to expect from social work supervision with Evonne Jones
