Stutter Social connects people who stutter through group video chats

Stutter Social schedules five weekly group video chats facilitated by our awesome and dedicated hosts who also stutter. Share experiences and make new friends with people who stutter in this supportive environment.

Our official Stutter Social hosts and community of participants are super-friendly, welcoming, and inclusive. Everyone is given a chance to speak.

Discussion often revolves around stuttering-related issues, but sometimes we just chat about our day or a good movie. We ask people to be open to and accepting of others, whether they agree with each other or not. Many friendships have been made in this environment!

Please note that while Stutter Social may be used as a place to practice speech management techniques, speech therapy is not permitted. Best to check your country's stuttering association for information.

How to join

It's simple!

  1. We use the 100% free service, Google Meet, for our video chats. If you want to use an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, or Android tablet you will need to download the Google Meet app from the App Store on your device. Google Meet will also work on any desktop web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.).
  2. Check the Stutter Social schedule below to find a time that works for you. At the specified time, check out the Stutter Social Facebook page for the link to join the group video chat. Just scroll down the page to the Posts section and look for the post on the day you want to join.

Be sure that you are in a quiet room and are using headphones before you connect in order to prevent background noise from disrupting the group video chats.
