Social Media Accounts

Instagram accounts, Facebook groups and channels where specialists, families and people with selective mutism share support and experience.

Social Media Accounts

Voices, Stories, Support.

Organisations, specialists, parents and adults with lived experience who share about selective mutism. Big and small voices together: each card brings together one person’s or organisation’s accounts on every platform, and the largest and most active come first, followed by smaller personal accounts and quieter archives that are still worth reading. Every account was checked in September 2026. Personal accounts share lived experience, not medical advice.

Children reading for children

Share a Reading

A small reading. A story to discover together.
Please complete this form as the child’s parent or legal guardian.

1 The book & recording

Share a link Mini-Talks can open. A short opening passage is enough. Please leave surnames, school names and other identifying details out of the recording.

About the book’s permission (optional)

Permission to share your child’s recording is separate from permission to publish the book passage.

2 The reader & family

Use a first name or nickname, not the child’s full name. Parent contact details are for the submission, not the public reading credit.

Nothing is sent at this step. Next, you can open an email draft to hello@mini-talks.org.
