Stuttering Acceptance: An Upcoming Event You Might Like

Stuttering Acceptance: An Upcoming Event You Might Like I've been a long-time lingerer on this sub. As someone who stutters myself, I can empathize with many of the stories, experiences, and emotions you all share. I'm deciding to post now because there's an upcoming event thatI think would be valuable to many people here. It's called "Let's Talk: Finding Your Path to Acceptance" and is being run by the Canadian Stuttering Association (CSA)(https://stutter.ca/). You may have heard the term "acceptance" being thrown around on this sub. A common sentiment is that it's the best way of coping with stuttering but it's not clear how exactly you get there. In this CSA event, questions such as "What exactly is acceptance and what does it look like?," "How do you reach acceptance?," "Can chasing fluency hinder your path to acceptance?," and "Is acceptance the only solution to stuttering?" will be fleshed out by the 3 panellists of the event. I've personally found that hearing insights about how other people who stutter have achieved acceptance has helped me find clarity in my own journey. It's also just nice to discuss stuttering with others who understand and experience the very same thing. This discussion will happen on Sept. 8th from 3-5 pm ET on Zoom. I want to be transparent and let you know that I am leading the planning of this event as the Events & Conference Planning Coordinator for the CSA. The event also costs $10 to attend. However, I personally do not gain anything from registrations and am sharing this event because I think it could be quite valuable for many here. The CSA is entirely non-profit and the profits earned from Let's Talk events are directly used to run our annual conference for people who stutter (but that's another topic for another time).
