My Voice, My Story - Booklet

My Voice Matters: A Booklet for Young People Who Stammer

A warm, honest and encouraging booklet written for young people who stammer.

Through personal stories, reflections and reassurance, this resource helps children and young people feel less alone in their experiences and reminds them that a stammer is just one small part of who they are.

Covering topics such as confidence, self-belief, friendships, school and finding your voice, this booklet offers a relatable perspective from someone who understands the challenges that can come with stammering. It gently encourages young people to recognise their strengths, embrace who they are and remember that their thoughts, feelings and opinions matter.

Perfect for use at home, in schools, within speech and language support services, or as part of wider wellbeing and confidence-building work.

This booklet helps young people to:

• Feel understood and less alone

• Build confidence and self-acceptance

• Reflect on their own experiences

• Develop a more positive relationship with their stammer

• Recognise that their voice matters, regardless of how they speak

A thoughtful and empowering resource that reminds young people that confidence doesn't come from speaking perfectly - it comes from believing that what you have to say is worth hearing.
