During this period of social distancing, Shared Voices is bringing our popular Speaking Out series online. We're hosting three conversation topics over a six week series, each one dedicated to specific communication challenge associated with quarantined life in a virtual world.

The Challenges of Virtual Socializing As A PWS

Facilitators: Julie Kendall and DeeDee Scalzetti

Julie and DeeDee serve on the Shared Voices Junior Board. They are both people who stutter.

This discussion will tackle the ins, outs, and how do you handle... challenges associated with maintaining social conversations and connections as a person who stutters (PWS), when communication is totally online (or over the oh-so-fun phone). Facilitators will open the conversation and provide questions to get things started.

Attendees are invited to share comments and experiences, ask questions, and support others who are going through similar experiences. If you would like to join just to listen, you are very welcome to do so!
