A Summary of the May Virtual Teen Group
“The teens had a great meet-up on 5/8/24! After some ice breaker activities, we had a lively discussion about what bugs us about how listeners react to our stuttering. Some teens in the group had previously disclosed their stuttering, and others who had never tried it before, so we chatted about what’s hard about disclosure and also what’s helpful about it. We also talked about the upcoming National Stuttering Awareness Week and what we could try to do that week to try to spread the word about stuttering. We ended with the teens sharing what they want to grow in (inspired by all the plants growing this spring), and how it’s productive to ‘feel the fear but do it anyways.’ Thanks to everyone who joined!”
