People who stammer should be given space to talk, whether they are ordering a coffee, booking a GP appointment... or returning a coffin.
We're pleased to launch our new ad, developed with the fantastic folks at @VMLYR. Watch, share... and DON'T JUMP IN.
Don't Jump In! Why not? Well - here are some examples of jumpers-in...
Keep an eye out for these fabulous posters developed by London-based designer BIFF - on digital screens across the UK, imminently! Thank you so much, @JCDecaux_UK and @VMLYR
STAMMA helpline and webchat. If you want to tell us about your day, chat, practice speaking, prepare for an important phonecall, or just want us to be a sounding board for your ideas, we're here for you!

We urge for changes in GP appointment booking systems nationwide after our survey showed that phone-only systems & lack of staff training cause people who stammer to face mental distress, delayed appointments, & late diagnoses. #NotJustPhones#GP_Access

In an ever-digital world of Zoom socials and Teams meetings, it can be hard to disclose that you #stammer.
We've put together a range of Video Chat Backgrounds and Email Sign-Offs to make life a little easier. 💻

A brilliant video to raise awareness of stammering in the run up to International Stammering Awareness Day and to help those that don't stammer become more supportive listeners. Well done to all those involved in creating this video. Please watch and share ⬇️
Our film is live!!
I don't need to be fixed - what I wish the world understood about stammering.
A huge thank you to the courageous people who gave their voice to this film. Please share as widely as possible. The world needs to hear these messages

📶 No, it's not the Wi-Fi acting up again. #ItsHowWeTalk
We're calling for the right to stammer, because stammering is just how some people talk, and there can be #NoDiversityWithoutDisfluency.
Thread continued below... 👇
UK speechies - please let families on your caseloads or waiting lists know about this workshop for parents of primary school children who stammer. Taking place on 16th June.
If you Clutter, or know someone who does, this post may be for you.
As part of our #PracticeInterview event (see website ), we’re offering 3 free practice i/views for people who #clutter with an experienced interviewer who himself clutters. If interested, send us a DM for info.
"People who #stammer often experience bias in interviews that favour spoken fluency over substance" 📢
