“Talking About Our Tourettes” will be an open forum for and by adults over 30 with Tourettes Syndrome and will be facilitated by Dr. Jeremy Lichtman.
Facilitated by Dr. Jeremy Lichtman, our panel of adults in their 30s with TS will discuss the various facets of Tourettes in their lives and/or how Tourettes informs their identities.
Because this program will be personal in nature and does not involve a presentation component, it will not be recorded and posted to the TS Talk archive.
