| | Often messages arrive to us from parents soliciting advice to face some exasperating situations related to the attacks of wrath, the obsessions, the low self-esteem: with all the Co-morbidity that undergoes many of the children affected by the Syndrome of Tourette (ST). This recurrent necessity is the one that has motivated the beginning of a stable psycho-educational program, directed to help to children of between 8 14 years as much, and its parents and mothers to acquire certain skills, abilities or “tricks” to entail better the conflicting situations and to reduce stress.
At the moment we began with the sessions directed to this strip of age and its caretakers, but our illusion and our efforts go directed to also adapt it to other groups (adolescent and adult). The first call began the 21 of November of 2007, but there will be more based on the budgets of the Association. The course is gratuitous and the only requirement to participate is to be or to become partner.
