💭This weeks' stammering #TipTuesday comes from Stephen Greene (@stutterverse).
Stephen is known for turning his experiences of having a #stammer into poetry, his top tip is about the importance of learning to understand #stammering...👇
ALT A graphic showing a stammering top tip by Stephen Green (Stutterverse). The tip reads: "The feeling of getting stuck can be less scary when you start to understand stammering. You can do this by meeting other people who stammer and talking about how it makes you feel. You are not alone." An image of Stephen can be seen on the right and the Action for Stammering Children logo is beneath.

We understand your intentions may be good, but here's why some people who #stammer would just rather you didn't...
