Established in 2023, the Tourette Ottawa Connection stands as the sole local organization dedicated to serving the community. Our commitment is to heighten awareness and offer continuous support to individuals and families affected by Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders.
Tourette Ottawa Connection is a non-profit organization dedicated to offering assistance and inspiration to individuals impacted by Tourette Syndrome, Tic Disorders, and related conditions. We aim to achieve this mission through initiatives focused on Awareness and Support.
Transforming lives through comprehensive support and community engagement
Through comprehensive educational initiatives, targeted social media campaigns, and community outreach programs, we strive to foster social acceptance and raise awareness about Tourette Syndrome and related conditions.
We equip professionals with the knowledge to better address the needs of individuals and families grappling with Tourette and Tic Disorders. Our training sessions reach healthcare providers, educators, and community members.
Through our network, we offer virtual and in-person discovery sessions, support groups for all ages, and maintain a multilingual resource library to enhance understanding.
We empower the community to advocate for crucial issues affecting the Tourette Syndrome (TS) community and drive meaningful change.
Stay updated with our latest activities and community highlights
We look forward to sharing many meaningful moments together in 2026 and hope to see you at our events throughout the year. As a reminder, we host support group meetings on the fourth Tuesday of every month at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, located at 1145 Carling Avenue, in Room 1423, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. These free sessions provide a welcoming and supportive space to learn, connect, and better navigate the challenges faced by individuals living with Tourette syndrome and their families. We also offer free in-service presentations in both English and French for workplaces and schools across the Kingston–to–Montreal region. We’re especially excited about our much-anticipated Tic Toc Walk this spring—more details coming soon!
