Everyone will meet in room 1420 but then the two groups (youth and adults) will be split into separate rooms. Kevin Smith who is studying neuroscience will be hosting the Youth Support Group meeting. He has facilitated group meetings and he himself has Tourette Syndrome.
The intent of the Youth Support Group is to build a network of support; mention your positive experiences and challenges, and to share your special accomplishments.
Pre-register* at info@tsottawa.com.
*Include your name and age and email. Include your parents email if under 18 years of age.
PARENTS and INDIVIDUALS:
Our support group meetings typically take place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month (Sept – June) EXCEPT for March because of March break. Therefore, our upcoming meeting is on Tuesday, March 3 at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, room 1420 from 7:30 – 9:00pm. Everyone is welcome!
