It started with personal experience...

We started as passionate individuals, driven by experience and a commitment to make a difference.

In schools, communities, and families across South Africa, there are kids and adults with tics who feel completely alone, bullied, unseen and misunderstood. That can sometimes be more painful than the tics themselves.


We created Tourette South Africa to change that.

We want every child, teen and adult in SA with tics to know:

You are not strange. You are not broken. You are not alone.

We’re here to:

  • Raise awareness about Tourette Syndrome.
  • Break harmful stereotypes and misinformation.
  • Offer support and resources to individuals and families.
  • Build a South Africa where people with Tourette’s can feel they belong.

"I have Tourette’s. It's part of me... not all of me."

Our Values

Beliefs that guide our choices and shape our behaviour:

Empathy First

Every person's journey with Tourette's is different, and we honour their lived experience.


Connection Over Isolation

No one should feel alone because of their tics, we exist to create belonging. 


Courage in Vulnerability

Through acts of bravery, we create safe spaces where people can speak up and be seen. 


Awareness Impact

We are here to inform, engage and reshape how Tourette Syndrome is seen and spoken about in South Africa. 


Hope, Always

We advocate for better understanding, better treatment access and a better future. 


Driven by Hope, not fear. 

BOLD. BRAVE. TIC STRONG.
