Apply to the Tim Howard Leadership Academy

The NJCTS Tim Howard Leadership Academy is designed to develop self-leadership, advocacy skills, and resilience in teens with Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders. The program increases the participants’ understanding of their disorders and provides opportunities and a safe environment to explore and identify their strengths, challenges, needs, and skills. The Academy provides an intentional space to build critical skills that will help young people with TS, like Tim Howard, to excel and, through that success, inspire others.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 29

NJCTS is planning exciting programming throughout the month for teens, adults and families.

Today’s Challenge, Tomorrow’s Strength: A Support Group for Parents of Children with Tourette

January 10 at 8 p.m.

The monthly NJCTS support group is an avenue for parents who are new to a tic disorder diagnosis to seek support and guidance from parents who have more experience, as well as an opportunity for parents with more familiarity in coping with a diagnosis to also learn and seek guidance.

Community Connections for Adults with TS

January 22 at 7 p.m. (online)

Calling all adults with TS, age 21 and up. Join us as we come together to build our community and connect with others navigating both the TS journey and adulthood. Here you can comfortably discuss your experiences, share advice, and build relationships with those who understand your unique challenges.

TOURETTE TALK: Community Q&A

January 25 at 7 p.m.

Every young person needs help adapting to adult life. If you have Tourettes, it can be hard to ask questions and know that your experience will be understood.

In this community Q&A session, you can talk to other adults with TS who have it mostly “figured out.” Our audience-driven discussion will use questions the community has sent in beforehand, as well as any questions that come up in the session.
