As many as 1 in 100 individuals show signs of Tourette Syndrome – most of them undiagnosed, misdiagnosed and/or misunderstood.
NJCTS provides answers for these individuals and their families through referrals to programs and services, education and training so that families, peers and professionals will be better qualified to help those with TS, and support of research programs so that we can find better treatments and a cure.

NJCTS Holds all kinds of events, from seminars to walkathons to summer camps.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Your generous support is key to making advances in Tourette Syndrome research and helping keep our ongoing services possible.
WAYS TO SUPPORT
We are always in need of teens, adults, and families to help spread the word, get some office work done, or help out at an event.
