Support groups such as Speakeasy are helpful for many reasons:

• A problem shared is a problem halved.
• You do not have to suffer with your stuttering alone. 1% of the population stutter. You are not alone!
• You can gain from others like you.
• To educate the public about stuttering.

Support groups provide attendees with the opportunity to share fears, frustrations and triumphs; and to practice therapeutic techniques to help control stuttering in a safe and supportive environment. Attendance also helps a Person Who Stutters engage in speaking experiences they might shy away from in their daily lives and assist others in achieving these goals. This is all achieved in a non-threatening environment.
