More employers are including stuttering related activities in their diversity and inclusion and talent acquisition programmes. Examples of where 50 Million Voices can help include:
- Practice Interview events

- One-to-one mentoring for colleagues who stutter
- Talks, expert panels or guests for podcasts

For allies
You might be a colleague, relative, therapist, have stuttered when younger, or simply be curious about stuttering - as one of the 99% of people who don't stutter you have a vital role to play in creating stuttering-friendly workplaces.

- Practice interviewers
- Champions for stuttering
- Writing a blog
- Recording a video
- Supporting us on social media
