We invite you to join us for a discussion titled “Relationships: How They Are Affected by a Voice Disorder.” This meeting will provide a space to explore the emotional and social impact of voice disorders and share strategies for navigating relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

We will also explore the characteristics of individuals with voice disorders and discuss the overall impact on daily life.
This conversation is an opportunity to connect with others who understand the challenges of living with a voice disorder, share experiences, and offer support. Whether you choose to participate in the discussion or simply listen, you are welcome.
