Friends: The National Association Of Young People Who Stutter
Event closed

Annual Summer Convention Registration 2023

Join us at Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O’Hare Rosemont as FRIENDS celebrates 26 years of providing support and community for young people who stutter and their families. Meet kids, parents, siblings, and SLPs all hoping for the same unforgettable time as you. When you leave on Sunday, we are positive you will tell your new FRIENDS how happy you are that you decided to come to a FRIENDS convention, followed by a ‘See you next year!’ If you have any questions, please email friends@friendswhostutter.org.

Our mission continues to be what it has always been—to provide support and education to young people who stutter, their families, and clinicians. Instilling a sense of empowerment, providing an environment where feelings of isolation disappear and growing confidence and self-esteem continues to be the foundation of our vision. We want our young people who stutter to know they are strong, they have support, they are not alone, and they have FRIENDS who will listen to them.
