New content for World Mental Health Day

To mark World Mental Health Day today, we've added new content to help people who stammer get support.

Stammering, and peoples' reactions to it, can affect how we think and feel about ourselves. It can also be isolating, with many feeling unable to talk about it with others.

Dr Heidi King, long-term STAMMA member and Clinical Psychologist, has written a piece on psychological therapies which is so good that we've added it to our Get Help section. The page 'Stammering & Mental Health' recognises the feelings and effects that people who stammer might experience, and lists the different support options available. 

Check it out, we hope it's helpful. Please share it with anyone you think might benefit from it.

If you need to talk, why not chat with us? Call our free helpline on 0808 802 0002 or start a webchat.

Other new support content

We've also added a new section 'Help With Speaking Situations', which has pages crammed with tips on: 

• Using the phone 
• Speaking in cafés, shops, services, etc 
• Presentations & public speaking

We'll aim to add pages on other speaking situations in due course, so keep your eyes peeled.
