About this project

Manja Mintel from Mutismus Selbsthilfe Deutschland e.V. is responsible for this project
People affected by mutism often experience a lack of understanding and even rejection in everyday life. They are shy and should just talk. This is a common misinterpretation that only increases the pressure on those affected. It makes speaking even more impossible. That's why we want to use intensive public relations work to raise awareness about fear-related silence and create more acceptance for mutism. 
 
With our work, we advocate for an improved public perception of mutism. In many cases, even those affected do not know what they are suffering from. Yet the disorder is easily treatable if it is recognized early. That is why more attention is needed. 
 
With so many tasks to be done, it is difficult for us to push ahead with public relations work for a better understanding of mutism. This is especially hard on those affected, who are still underrepresented in society's perception. 
 
Your donation enables us to implement plans and projects that are currently not feasible, e.g. to have advertisements, flyers, posters or other information media produced. to finance information events and mutism conferences or to finance the work of and with authors, speakers and designers. 
 
We are particularly interested in providing professional advice to affected persons, relatives, social pedagogues or staff in residential groups from therapists specializing in mutism. In order to be able to help as effectively as possible, intensive consultation and time are often needed. Your donation enables us to finance such professional expertise. 
 
The earlier children start mutism therapy, the greater the chance that they will succeed in overcoming their silence.

Thank you very much
