About the event
Join us on Thursday, November 13, from 8 to 9:30 PM ET for a special NSA Connects session exploring the intersection of stuttering and addiction recovery.
This session will discuss how addiction can sometimes develop as a coping mechanism for the challenges and frustrations associated with stuttering and how people in recovery can engage these challenges in healthier ways.
Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and share in small group discussions.
