TSAA Support Groups
Support groups have been shown to be really helpful in assisting people with TS to manage. Sharing informatioin and strategies can be very good, and of course the acceptance and understanding one can find is a positive thing. Recent research shows that support groups have a beneficial effect on living with TS.
