Join our FREE monthly parents’ and caregivers’ group and find a community of loved ones who are asking tough questions, sharing their highs and lows, and building their confidence in becoming their child’s best advocate and ally! August’s co-host is Joanna Samhouri, MPH.
Joanna Samhouri, MPH, is a person who stutters, an implementation science researcher, and an incoming speech-language pathology graduate student at George Washington University. She holds a Master of Public Health from New York University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the American University of Beirut. Her work spans global health, psychology, and communication disorders, with experience in implementation science, knowledge translation, and risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). Guided by a person-centered, ecological perspective, Joanna is passionate about translating evidence into accessible, culturally appropriate resources that equip people who stutter with the knowledge, confidence, and agency to shape their own communication journeys. Recognizing that meaningful change extends beyond the individual, she also advocates for community engagement to cultivate responsive, enabling environments that support long-term growth.”
