CSA is hosting our Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2020 where you will meet the CSA Board of Directors, receive a Financial Report, and hear about our Strategic Plan and other initiatives underway, as well as ask questions!
The CSA was excited to support a global campaign that sought to raise awareness and change the way we talk about stuttering as we recognized International Stuttering Awareness Day (ISAD) on October 22.
The Canada-wide support group is a monthly virtual support group open to all teens and adults who stutter in Canada, regardless of location. Our intention is to connect people who stutter who may live in rural/remote communities, areas without in-person support groups and those who attend other support groups but would like additional opportunities to meet. If you attend our meetings you are of course welcome to attend other CSA in-person or virtual meetings! Check it out here.
