We have had wonderful feedback from the families who have participated in the past about this unique opportunity to get to know, on an intimate level, other families who are living with TS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The price to participate in any or all of the groups is $200 per family. Space is limited, so please contact the Tourette Syndrome Program at 848-445-6111, Ext. 40150, for more information or to sign up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren and adults alike enjoy the groups for many reasons. I think the greatest benefit is gained from the ability to interact over many weeks with other families who have TS,\u201d Ewbank says. \u201cFamilies who feel less alone with their struggles feel better equipped to navigate the challenges that can come with TS. In past years, I have been impressed by the sense of community that has formed within each of the groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/njcts.org\/tsparents\/socials-skills-and-family-support-groups-to-start-jan-12-at-rutgers\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tourette Syndrome Program at Rutgers University\u2019s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, in collaboration with the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome (NJCTS), will begin its annual 10-week social skills and family support groups from 6 to 7:30&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/njcts.org\/tsparents\/socials-skills-and-family-support-groups-to-start-jan-12-at-rutgers\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[279,364,389,414],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v22.7) -
