The Speech and Language Therapy Team at our Trust recently held events to raise awareness about stammering to mark International Stammering Awareness day (ISAD)

There were cake stalls at Princess Royal and Broad Street Health Centres, alongside a benefit gig to raise awareness held at the Arden Centre in Halifax.

Often people don't understand the struggle, frustration and emotional impact of having a stammer and in an attempt to help they finish off the sentences of people who stammer. The message is simple – “Give people who stammer time to talk, don’t speak for them or finish their sentences.” PATIENCE – that’s all.

The events made a whopping total of £120.00.
