Abstract

The current study aimed to develop a proposed counseling program in group work to reduce selective mutism related to harassment among preparatory school students.
This was achieved by addressing the following sub-objectives: identifying the social, psychological, and school-related factors associated with selective mutism regarding harassment among preparatory students; identifying the professional techniques, strategies, skills, and roles of the school social worker to reduce this phenomenon; determining the challenges faced by school social workers in addressing selective mutism related to harassment; and proposing ways to activate the professional roles of school social workers in mitigating this issue.

The study adopted the social survey method using a comprehensive enumeration of all social workers working in preparatory schools under the Aswan Educational Administration, totaling 91 participants. The study ultimately resulted in the formulation of a proposed counseling program in group work aimed at reducing selective mutism related to harassment among preparatory school students.
