Support Groups

At times it seems to be more helpful speaking to others who have lived our lives rather than talking with doctors who, although knowledgeable about the medical aspects of TS, have second-hand knowledge of what it's like living with the disorder. This often happens by means of attending a local support group. The existence of these groups seems to fluctuate from time to time.

Following is a brief description of the active groups in Ohio at the present time. If you are interested in starting a group in your area, or would like more information about the existing groups, please contact us by our toll-free TSA Ohio Help Line. We are especially in need of support groups in the southeastern and northwestern parts of the state.
