Updated 16th October 2025.
The STAMMA Facebook Support Group has been an amazing success, to a large degree thanks to everyone who has contributed to it and moderated it.
It was set up by us here at STAMMA, the British Stammering Association, a charity supporting those who stammer in the United Kingdom.

Do not post images or videos of children unless you are the parent or guardian, or you have permission. - Don't mislead and take care with your language.
When you talk about your stammer, try not to make others feel rubbish about having a stammer. Try to use neutral language - for example, instead of 'My stammer is really bad', language like 'I'm stammering more today' has less judgement placed on it. Or instead of 'My speech is good at the moment', try 'I'm stammering less at the moment'. Have a look at our resources under About Stammering. There isn't a cure. Talk about your journey but don't push everyone to copy you. - Seek approval before posting research requests.
