The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (CHF), founded in 1995, is the largest non-profit funder of exclusively canine research in the world. The foundation works to develop significant resources for basic and applied health programs with emphasis on canine genetics to improve the quality of life for dogs and their owners. CHF raises money to support canine health research. We make grants to investigators that are looking for: the cause(s) of disease; earlier, more accurate diagnosis; accurate, positive prognosis; and effective, efficient treatment. CHF also supports educational programs that bring scientists together to discuss their work and develop new collaborations to further advance canine health.

The mission of the Selective Mutism Group and the Childhood Anxiety Network is to increase public awareness of selective mutism and related childhood anxiety disorders, to promote greater understanding of these disorders through education, support of research and to provide support to professionals, affected individuals and their families.

We are parents, grandparents, siblings and family members from all walks of life: accountants, artists, engineers, carpenters, electricians, librarians, lawyers, veterinarians, stay-at-home-moms, musicians, secretaries, dentists, nannies and bookkeepers.

We are also physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, social workers, speech and language pathologists, teachers, school administrators, occupational therapists, counselors, nurses, researchers, students and other health and education professionals.

What we all have in common is that we have witnessed the pain of children who suffer in silence and we have experienced the frustration of not knowing how to help them. We have come together to form an online community to help one another and, most importantly, our children.

We share experiences and knowledge, fulfilling our mission to promote public awareness, to educate and support the expansion of research about selective mutism, and to speak out for our children who are unable to speak for themselves. We pride ourselves on being the premier information source for SM.
