There is a new age of support groups starting in the Canadian stuttering community with groups launching across the country. Ottawa and Belleville are the latest cities to plan opportunities for people who stutter, their family and friends and speech-language pathologists to get together and share their ideas and feelings.
The mission of the CSA Ottawa Support Group (formerly The Ottawa Association of People Who Stutter) is to bring hope, dignity, support, education, and empowerment to Ottawa area teenagers and adults who stutter. We also welcome student Speech Language Pathologists who want to increase their learning about stuttering. Meetings are once a month at the University of Ottawa campus.
