Virtual Resources
Connect with Friends no matter where you are.No matter where you live, you have Friends!
We know that stuttering can sometimes feel isolating and that no one else understands. At Friends, we are here for you! We offer monthly virtual programming, including kid groups, teen groups, adult groups, and parent groups — a time for everyone! Join us as we support one another, young people who stutter, their families and the stuttering community. Please use this page for reference as we share updates on these activities. We also invite you to engage with us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
★ Note: We pause our virtual groups in July to welcome everyone to our annual convention. We hope to see you there!

Creating a Stutter-Friendly Virtual Learning Environment
Classroom settings, virtual or in-person, can often be a site of stress and obstacles for young people who stutter. Concerns that students may have about being given the opportunity and time to speak may be amplified when classes are held online. To learn of some ways that you, as teachers, can make your virtual classroom an accommodating learning environment, read more here.
