Story
We believe that fear-free speech for stammerers should be available and accessible to all, and as inexpensive as possible.
Empowering Voices is a UK charity run by people who have tamed their stammers. We have decades of experience helping people say what they want, when they want, how they want.
Our approach is "stammerers first".
Stammering affects every aspect of a stammerer's life, so the great thing is that taming yours is transformational. Everyday tasks such as ordering a coffee, going to the post office or picking up a prescription become moments of triumph rather than despair. It is a wonderful feeling to control your stammer rather than it controlling you.
There is no cure for stammering, but some would argue that using a costal breathing technique to control one's speech is the next best thing. The Empowering Voices approach uses a combination of costal breathing, a controlled pattern of speech and desensitisation techniques to help those who stammer say what they want, when and how they want, ultimately without fear.
We are delighted that you are considering supporting Empowering Voices, the UK’s only charity focused on bringing the relief of using a costal breathing technique to as many stammerers as possible.
