The TSAA is a non-profit, self-funded, registered charity run by volunteers — consisting of people with Tourette Syndrome (TS), their families, health and education professionals and other interested and concerned people. The association disseminates educational materials in the fields of health care, education and welfare service, provides telephone counselling and operates support groups. We support parent advocacy and other services to help families cope with problems that may occur with TS. The association publishes a quarterly newsletter. We continue to work towards seeking better treatments and improving the overall quality of life for people with TS.
