Support groups offer a confidential space for people to learn and share information about the stuttering experience, practice communication skills and work on self-acceptance and empowerment in a safe environment. For many people, attendance at a support group meeting may be the first place to meet another person who stutters. Our meetings are open to teens and adults who stutter along with their families and friends with an interest in learning about and coping with stuttering.
At the CSA we are committed to developing resources and guidance for our regional support groups so that attendees can make the most of this opportunity. We are excited to announce that regional support groups are currently in development for Toronto, ON, Bellville, ON and Regina, SK and Calgary, AB. In the coming months we will share more information on how and when to attend. If you have an interest in being a member of one of these groups, or starting up your own local chapter, please contact Anna Huynh, Volunteer Coordinator.
