Help and Awareness for Stuttering at Public Museum

We all have times when we do not speak smoothly. We may add "uh" or "you know" to what we say. Or, we may say a sound or word more than once. These things are normal if they happen every once in a while. When it happens a lot, it may be stuttering.

The Grand Rapids Public Museum is partnering with Camp Shout Out to host a special film screening and panel discussion of the award-winning documentary, When I Stutter, this week, Thursday, February 20, 7 to 9 p.m., and Saturday, February 22, 1 to 3 p.m.

This event will bring awareness to stuttering by addressing how the community can be cognizant of the challenges individuals face on a daily basis. Following the screening of When I Stutter, panelists will discuss stuttering, as well as open up the floor to the audience to ask questions.

The event is free but you should make a reservation at the Grand Rapids Public Museum website here!
