Our Group
The Support Group is a user-led group that meets regularly to offer support, friendship, encouragement, share learning and hints/tips for improved communication and confidence, share frustrations, day-to-day challenges and equally our highlights and successes in a safe, patient and understanding environment, we support each other in a safe and secure environment and more importantly, help you to help yourself.

Our meetings mainly consist of group exercises i.e. speaking circle, presentations or one-minute topic session, voice projection and handshake introduction, etc. all carried out in a safe and secure environment.  All members have experienced stammering and understand the feelings of isolation and fear​.  We discuss issues and concerns around stammering. This is a time when members can practice speaking any techniques they wish to use in a speaking circle environment.

Meet Yinka
​
“I founded the group in July 2007 for people who stammer.  Stammering since childhood, but I have greatly reduced my fears of stammering.  It’s taken some work though, internet research, various training courses, and self-help books.  Through all this, I have reached a good deal of fluency and am proud of where I have got to.  I believe wholeheartedly that reducing fears associated with stammering and changing how you look at stammering from beliefs, intentions, and perceptions is the key to improved fluency.”

What Our People Say...
As I have grown older, my speech has improved with my self confidence, but sometimes we all need a little support. Joining the Warrington Stammering Support Group has introduced me to others who stammer and so reduced the feeling of isolation and being the 'only one with a speech problem'. Fellow members provide a friendly, pressure free environment to air views and let out frustrations; offering friendly advice, based on their own life experiences. I have made some great new friends, and look forward to each monthly get together.
