We started as passionate individuals, driven by experience and a commitment to make a difference.
Across South Africa, there are kids and adults with tics who feel completely misunderstood. That can sometimes be more painful than the tics themselves.
We created Tourette South Africa to change that.
We're not offering clinical support or a community network (yet).
But we’re here to:
Empathy First
Every journey with Tourette’s is different. We respect what each person is facing.
Information Over Assumption
Knowledge brings understanding. Assumptions create stigma.
Connection Through Awareness
We may not offer support groups, but we aim to connect through facts and shared stories.
Awareness Impact
We are here to help inform, engage and reshape how Tourette Syndrome is seen and spoken about in South Africa.
Kindness Matters, Always
We advocate for better understanding, dignity and inclusion.
To every individual with tics:
You are not broken. You are not less capable. You are becoming.
Tourette SA supports global goals for health, inclusion and education, aligning with United Nations Sustainability Development Goals.
Important Notice
