Question
Where can I find Tourette syndrome information or support in the UK?
People with tics or Tourette syndrome, families, schools and employers may need a current support route without knowing which services provide information, peer support or practical guidance.
Current understanding
Tourettes Action is a current UK route in the ND Oracle catalogue for Tourette syndrome information, support groups, events and a helpdesk. The helpdesk can provide information and guidance but explicitly does not diagnose Tourette syndrome or advise on medication. This is a route to inspect, not a clinical recommendation.

Related questions
- No adjacent governed question has enough shared material yet.
What evidence is still needed
- Current first-party evidence whenever Tourettes Action changes its support services, helpdesk hours or scope.
- Additional reviewed clinical, education and employment routes so different support needs are not collapsed into one organisation.
Where people may disagree
- Peer/support charity routes and clinical routes answer different questions; neither should be treated as a substitute for the other.
When this answer should be revisited
- Tourettes Action materially changes its helpdesk or support services.
- New reviewed UK Tourette-specific services or guidance routes are added.
Question provenance and review state
Practical discovery question assembled from the reviewed Tourette syndrome Concept and Tourettes Action Resource. It records a current UK support route and the helpdesk's stated boundaries without making clinical claims.
