The Cambridge Self-help Group For Adults Who Stammer

A group for adults in Cambridgeshire who stammer or have a connection to it.

Organiser Robert says, "At meetings we generally chat about our recent experiences and feelings. This can be about overt stammering but also the covert side of things, from embarrassment to a lack of confidence in our social or professional lives.

'The main aims of the group are to provide:

• support to fellow stammerers 
• knowledge or advice from our many years of experience
• an opportunity for people who stammer to meet and talk socially
• a non-judgemental environment where one is allowed to stammer freely
• an opportunity to practice speech techniques of one's choice
• opportunities to reflect on our past months in terms of speech and associated feelings

'Last, but not least, we're there to have fun!

'I try to theme each meeting. Someone in the group or an invited guest can give a presentation on a different topic around stammering, a course they have recently attended, or anything they've found helpful."

Meetings are usually on the first Thursday of each month from 7:30pm to 9pm at University Centre, Granta Place, Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1RU.
