I “came out” with my stammer in July 2011. This is when I attended my first Starfish course and realised that if I want to control my stammer then I needed to get my family and friends involved. The results are amazing because it’s took away any tension I had with my family because I still tried to hide my stammer from them for example I never answered the telephone when there was someone in my house, there was always an embarrassment attached to my stammer and until I went to Starfish I didn’t know how to work at it. Of course I do now and always pick up the phone no matter who is in the house. I’m in a good place with my stammer now. I still stammer in fact a proud stammer but I know that I don’t stammer like I use to because of the techniques I use to control it. Keep up the good work Adam.
I have a work colleague that has a stammer but I've always wanted to mention speech classes or try to suggest somethings to him is there anyway I should go about this?

Maybe talk about how we as a Stammering community can try to change attitudes within our society for people who stammer?
