A supportive therapy group for students with speech and communication challenges.

Speaking of Connection is a supportive therapy group for students living with speech impairments or communication differences. Rather than focusing on changing the way you speak, this group explores your relationship with communication and how speech challenges can affect confidence, relationships, identity, and well-being. Facilitated by a therapist who stutters, the group offers a supportive, low-pressure space to share experiences, build self-confidence, and develop new ways of responding to anxiety and self-doubt. This is not speech therapy; it is a counseling group that emphasizes connection, self-acceptance, and authentic communication.

Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: Counseling and Psychological Services (2nd floor of Breezeway)
If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Mason Blake at masonblake@health.fau.edu
