Today is International Stuttering Awareness Day and Forest Counseling would like to share some related information and resources!

The Stuttering Foundation defines stuttering as a communication disorder where speech is either broken by repetitive sounds, prolonged sounds, or abnormal stoppages. About 1% of the population stutters, and in America that equates to about 3 million Americans.

For parents who have a child who is stuttering, it is best to find support as soon as possible. A speech-language pathologist can be very helpful in increasing fluency. In Erie, Allegheny Health Network, UPMC, and several other organizations offer speech-language therapy.

If you're interested in learning more about stuttering, or related resources, check out the Stuttering Foundation's resource page: https://www.stutteringhelp.org/resources

If this brings up a hard topic for you or your family, Forest Counseling is here to support with our expert mental health therapists. For more information, visit forestcounseling.org or call 814-482-2209.

Therapy can be helpful for children, even when there are no obvious concerns. Therapy can benefit children by teaching them to recognize their emotions and communicate them more effectively. It can help them create stronger and more positive relationships with those around them. It also can increase their resilience and normalize asking for help when problems come their way.

Psychology Today has an article discussing how to determine if your child needs therapy here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/afraid-the-doctor/202204/does-my-child-need-therapy

If you think your child could benefit from therapy, consider the trained mental health professionals at Forest Counseling. You can learn more by visiting forestcounseling.org or by calling 814-482-2209.
