This past Monday, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary as a support group. We had a great turn out — 26 people, with almost ten first timers – probably an NSA world record. After some pizza (thanks Chuck!), we came together to discuss the theme of “Why Self Help?” Breaking off into small groups to discuss what keeps us coming back to group, members shared their experiences of empowerment and growth. Many of the “first timers” courageously shared why they decided to stand up and reach out to the group.
The turnout on Monday was a testament to our diverse membership, in age and background. Here’s to another 5 years of group support and self help in the NYC stuttering community!!!
