Inviting all teens ages 14 to 19 diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome to the first ever
NJCTS Virtual TS Teen Summit
, August 7 – 8, 2020.
Because the NJCTS Tim Howard Leadership Academy* is being held virtually this year, it gives us the opportunity to open some of the educational sessions to teens from around the globe. In this way, attendees will be given the chance to learn about their TS, and connect with teens who share their experiences - the challenging times and the victories – during an online TS Teen Summit.
Here are a few of the sessions that will be open for participation:
Who Really Knows about TS?: Three Perspectives
Dr. Michael Rubenstein (Neurologist), Dr. Robert King (Psychiatrist) and Dr. Marla Diebler (Psychologist)
Changing your Behavior, Not Yourself: The Uses of CBIT
Dr. Jeremy Lichtman (Psychologist)
Speak Out, Rise Up: Grow your Message and Tell your Story
Eryn Travis, M.S. Communications
Registration will be available next week. Please feel free to share this information with other teens in your TS community.
*It is important to note, programming for Leadership Academy remains separate from the Teen Summit and is unique and exclusive to the teens who applied and were accepted to participate this spring. 2020 Academy participants will have their own programming and special events.
