Tourette Syndrome support group leader needed for Morris/Sussex counties

DENVILLE – The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS) is seeking a volunteer to facilitate the Morris/Sussex County Tourette Syndrome Support Group for parents of children with TS and associated neurological disorders.

Beginning Thursday, September 12, this support group will meet every other month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Clare’s Hospital, 25 Pocono Road in Denville. Those interested should contact NJCTS Family Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator Leanne Loewenthal by calling 908-575-7350 or by e-mailing LLoewenthal@njcts.org.

Through the Tourette Syndrome Association of New Jersey, NJCTS meets the needs of parents and individuals affected by TS through these support group meetings, which take place at regional hospitals throughout the state and are designed to provide face-to-face encouragement and group discussion on the challenges associated with TS, ADHD, OCD and other associated conditions.

The Morris/Sussex county TS support group will be the first of five statewide TS support groups to restart this fall. Following September 12, other meetings are scheduled to take place on:

  • November 7, 2013
  • January 2, 2014
  • March 13, 2014
  • May 8, 2014
