The Manchester Stammering Community

A monthly group in or around Manchester for people who stammer, friends and family, plus qualified and trainee speech & language therapists.

Organiser Max says, "The group's emphasis is on exploring different ways of dealing with stammering and finding what works best for you. 

'Group activities include play reading, discussion groups, guest speakers and table topics. We take turns in discussion groups, if people feel comfortable doing that, which ensures equal participation. Members can also host a discussion based on their own experiences.

'We also run extra-curricular activities, such as karaoke and evenings out. We organised the 2016 BSA Conference at the University of Manchester.

'You are welcome to attend in an observational capacity as many times as you like, and there's no pressure to take part in activities you might not be ready for".

More details

Meetings are held in Manchester every month usually on a Monday or Wednesday, from 7pm to 9pm.

If you'd like to be part of it, email Max at mail@manchesterstammer.org 

You can join via Zoom if you are in or around Manchester or are visiting. This is set up on a per person basis, so email Max for details. 

The group has a Facebook group which will redirect to their new website once it's up and running.
