Support
TSA's Minnesota Chapter offers support for individuals with Tourette Syndrome, their parents, siblings and friends. Attending a support group can be one way to connect with other people, learn about Tourette, share information and know you're not alone. TSA-MN also offers educational and public awareness presentations about Tourette to teachers, school mates, physicians, and other groups.
Support Groups
Support groups provide individuals with Tourette, parents of children with Tourette, as well as friends and relatives an opportunity to:
- share information and resources
- talk about challenges, opportunities, questions and concerns
- learn about physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists and other medical providers who are familiar with diagnosing and treating Tourette
- exchange ideas about managing Tourette at home, at school or at work
- meet and connect with other people in the Tourette community
- develop a support network with people who "get it" and understand your situation
