Following a hugely successful pilot run from August 1-3, 2014, the Tim Howard NJCTS Leadership Academy is set to return in 2015! Taking place from August 6-9 at Rutgers University, this academy for teens with Tourette Syndrome focuses on the three main areas of biology, psychology and the social components of having a TS diagnosis.
Participants will learn about the brain mechanisms behind Tourette, the psychological disorders that present challenges and the social aspects of having a stigmatized condition- we put a big emphasis on resilience. To learn more, or to become involved in shaping the future for the 1 in 100 children with symptoms of TS, visit www.njcts.org or call 908-575-7350.
