I know that the media and Information campaigns can reach out to individuals who stutter. Is that the only way to reach out to people? Do people who stutter activity have to find a support group? Or as a support group do you advocate in your community to get more members and reach out to people who may be shy or timid? They may not be the only way to reach to people because: Not every area especially in Africa has access to media. The media might not be easy because it may be expensive. We have school liaison services which may be offered by teachers teaching stuttering children. They help a great deal to create stuttering awareness. We take advantage of youth week in our country to talk to youths from school to school. We also meet more people in meeting houses and associations. Stutterers can not have access to support groups if stuttering help is not extended to the area. Every therapy help given to any community needs to be buttressed by a support group for those who benefit from the therapy to teach others.
