Support groups have been identified as a beneficial approach to enhancing both speech fluency and psychosocial well-being among people who stutter (Gerlach et al., 2019). Aim: To investigate the impact of participation in stuttering support groups on perceptions of speech fluency and psychosocial well-being of adults who stutter in Saudi Arabia. Method: A total of 18 adults who stutter were recruited to this study via SSGs leaders. The study used a survey to collect data and employed a mixed methods approach by integrating both quantitative analyses using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and qualitative thematic analysis to explore participants' experiences and perceptions. Results: The findings revealed that support groups largely enhance self-acceptance and confidence while showing variable improvement in speech fluency among participants. Conclusion: This research contributes valuable insights into the role of support groups in the lives of adults who stutter, advocating for their continued development and accessibility in Saudi Arabia.60enStutteringSupport groupsSaudi ArabiaAdultsThesis
