If you've got something you want to say about stammering; your story, a poem, a piece of art, or even a rant, we'd love to share it.
Hearing others talk about experiences similar to yours can help you feel less alone. It can bring things into perspective. It's also a powerful way to inspire, encourage and raise awareness of stammering and its impact.
So, tell us how things are going for you. Whether you stammer, you're a parent, family member, or if you know someone else stammers, we want to hear from you.
Tell us about:
- growing up with a stammer
- how stammering is impacting you and your life
- stammering at work, or your job hunting experiences
- dating and relationships
- school, college or university
- your experiences as a parent of a child who stammers
- things you've found helpful
- any other stammering-related topics, opinions, art, poems, songs, you name it.
