CELEBRATING DIVERSITY AND CHANGE
- Women and girls living with stuttering.
This International Community will provide support for women and girls living with stuttering. Females who stutter deal with a unique set of
issues often overlooked or not addressed by the stuttering community because stuttering affects a much larger percentage of men than women.
Though this group, female voices will be heard about what their specific needs are and what the stuttering community can do to best support
them. this group has been created to provide a safe and secure atmosphere where females can communicate about core life decisions and issues
about home, work, family and relationships by sharing and seeking advice from other women.
Females living with stuttering may subscribe by sending an e-mail to
women_girls_living_with_stuttering-owner@yahoogroups.com
- Passing Twice
An informal network of gay, lesbian and bisexual men and women living with stuttering and their friends.
