P4A2011: Selective Mutism Foundation

Link: http://selectivemutismfoundation.org/
This is a video to support selective mutism awareness for Project for Awesome.

This covers a very limited part of the issues concerning SM and the myths about it. For more, you can look it up, or watch videos from this account or my other (which I use for almost all liking, subscribing, and favoriting that doesn't have to do with P4A): http://www.youtube.com/user/Elemarth I made two videos about myths: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTLZ39fAdt0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TiLwvegesY If you want my t-shirt (it says Selective Mutism at the bottom) you can get that and more here: http://www.zazzle.com/elemarth Also, please like my selective mutism-supporting facebook pages: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Selective-Mutism-Awareness/108293122524382 and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Selective-Mutism-Situational-Communication-Anxi...

thanks for posting this video on the project for awesome site!! i too wish sm had more awareness. but i know someday we'll get the awareness out and everyone will know of this disorder! :)

@BaileyM1997 Well, this video hasn't gotten much attention at all. But next year I'll do the video with another youtuber, and we'll do it well beforehand instead of the morning of, and it'll be much better. That'll have to help.

And we will get awareness one day!

Thank you for putting the word out for something that isn't really talked about. I have heard of selective mutism before, but I didn't know there was a foundation that was there to help those who have it. Thanks! DFTBA!

@PlasticChopstickUser You're welcome! Actually, there are a bunch of groups, but they struggle a lot to get attention for themselves. DFTBA!

One of the charecters is suffering from this.
