Self-help index

Groups

Check whether there is a self-help group meeting in your area (or you could start a group). Sharing and discussing a problem with others who stammer is often helpful.

Even if there is no local group, many internet groups offer support and discussion, including BSA's own Facebook page. BSA also runs a telephone link scheme (list for one-to-one phone calls). There are Stuttersocial online meetings once a week using Google+ Hangouts, where you can see and hear other participants. There is also a group for women who stammer. (E-friends is no longer operating.)

There are also groups focussing on public speaking, which may help with confidence-building.

Events

BSA conferences, Open Days, and other events are also opportunities to meet people who stammer, and often include workshops you can attend. There are current details on our events page.
