Each year the TSAA holds a National Awareness Week. In the lead up to Awareness week we encourage everyone to do one thing to help spread the message.
Awareness Week 2024 will be held from 2 – 8 June, coinciding with International Tourette Syndrome Awareness day on 7 June.
Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition that involves automatic, unconscious movements and utterances called tics.
Ideas to get involved in Awareness Week include:
- Calling your local radio station and newspaper to include a notice or interview
- Sharing our social media files
- Putting our flyer in the school/work newsletter
- Put up a flyer at your local medical centre, school, workplace notice board or library
- Delivering TSAA brochures to doctors, allied health professionals and other organisations in your community
- Hold a “Wear Teal for Tourettes” awareness day at your school or workplace
- Donate a book on TS to your local or school library
- Hold a BBQ or cake stall
- Do a talk on TS at your local community group (Rotary, Lions Club, Probus etc)
