Confident Crew
Confident Crew is directed by Dr Melissa Giglio, to provide intensive treatment for children with Selective Mutism and Social Anxiety Disorder. Together with Dr Giglio, a small group of counsellors and interns with Confident Crew training will ensure that each participant will receive 1:1 support and a treatment plan tailored to the individual child.
Confident Crew is based on the Brave Buddies and Mighty Mouth programs, developed by Dr Steven Kurtz. Dr Giglio supported the development of the multi-day intensive model while at the NYU Child Study Center in 2009.
