Would you like to talk to other women who have a stammer?

Christine Simpson

At a workshop on issues for women who stammer, held at the 2009 BSA conference, it was decided it would be good to have a group where women could telephone each other, on the model of the BSA's Telephone Link Scheme.

The idea is that we could phone each other, either to practise speech therapy techniques, gain confidence on the phone, share experiences or just chat and make new friends in all parts of the UK. You would be free to participate as and when you would like to.

I know we are all very busy and the intention is that this group will not take up much of anyone's time. The way I will be setting it up is to ask all members to fill in a short questionnaire, I will then circulate the details to all members and the only participation required is phoning another member, if you want to. This group will be for adults (18 years and over) only.

If you are interested please contact me Christine Simpson simpsoncw@yahoo.co.uk

(Note: this group is not run by BSA.)
