Social Media Policy

Last Updated: February, 2026

​

The National Stuttering Association’s (“NSA”) official social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest) are spaces for people who stutter, family members, professionals, stuttering allies, and community members to connect, share experiences, and support one another.


Our social profiles serve as an open and welcoming forum for discussion. We encourage respectful, supportive conversations that reflect our community's values. Please keep comments constructive and appropriate, and comply with the social platforms' terms and policies.


While our goal is always to maintain an inclusive and supportive environment, we reserve the right to remove content, including links to external websites that we determine (at our sole discretion) to be unlawful, misleading, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate at any time. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Spam or repetitive posting

  • Personal attacks, harassment, or bullying

  • Profanity or offensive language

  • Off-topic or disruptive comments

  • Duplicate posts

  • Content promoting unrelated third-party pages, services, or organizations

  • Advertisements or solicitation

  • Content impersonating another individual or organization

  • Promotion or encouragement of illegal activity

 

We also reserve the right to restrict or ban users whose posts or behavior violate these guidelines. 


We do our best to monitor our comments closely, but things may occasionally be missed. If you notice something concerning that needs our attention, please send us a direct message.


By submitting or commenting with testimonials, comments, photos, videos, or other content on any of our social pages or posting your own content with NSA-branded hashtags, you grant the NSA permission to use, publish, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content for lawful purposes. This may include educational, informational, or promotional use across our platforms, including our website, social media, and marketing materials. 


Please only share photos or videos that you have permission to share. If individuals appear in your content, you must have their consent. If a minor appears in your content, permission must be granted by a parent or legal guardian.


All NSA graphics, artwork, educational materials, and branded visuals are the intellectual property of the National Stuttering Association. These materials may not be copied, altered, reproduced, redistributed, or repurposed in any form without prior written authorization from the NSA.


The NSA does not provide medical, therapeutic, or clinical advice through social media. For specific guidance related to speech, therapy, or medical concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
