Selective Mutism Seminar: Jonathan Berent & Major League Baseball Player
Wednesday March 4
8  PM   E.S.T.    

Kirk Rueter was a pitcher in the major leagues for 13 years; playing for The Montreal Expos and San Francisco Giants. During his career he won 130 games as a pitcher. In 2002 he pitched a World Series game against The Anaheim Angels. During his career, he and his wife Karla raised two wonderful children. One had Selectve Mutism.

Currently the Rueters are in the middle of what appears to be successful treatment for their daughter. They are currently applying my treatment program, which teaches parents, in essence, how to be “therapists” for the selectively mute child.

Selective Mutism is a complex anxiety problem which impacts 7 out of 1000 children. This is an amazing statistic when you consider that 6 out of 1000 children have autism. Thankfully there are many programs in place for the autistic community. The fact that there is so little help worldwide for Selective Mutism demonstrates the insidious and confusing character of this problem, which baffles the psychotherapy and medical communities.

During this free, one of a kind, seminar, you will have a unique opportunity to have your questions answered, and to hear a very reality based discussion with Jonathan Berent, L.C.S.W. and parents who are on the clinical “front line”.

In the meantime you may want to listen to interviews with families and individuals who have resolved Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety.

While this seminar is free, the spaces are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis.
