We also have a list of Behavioural Therapists who provide behavioural therapy for managing tics.

  

Confidentiality

The Helpdesk is a confidential service. For our statistical purposes, and to inform you of local TA events, we add service users contact details and the reason to our secure database. You can chose to be contacted about news, research, local events etc. We will not share the details of your contact with any person outside of the organisation. However, in extreme circumstances, where there is a real and present risk of harm to a caller or another individual, we will break confidentiality.

 

Volunteers

The Helpdesk relies heavily on volunteers and we are always looking to recruit and train more people to help us continue providing information and support. If volunteering on the helpdesk interests you, please contact help@tourettes-action.org.uk for more information.

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who is on the helpdesk you are always such a help. I have gone from worrying to feeling really positive again"
