Tourette Syndrome “PLUS”

http://www.tourettesyndrome.net/ 0

This site represents more than just “book knowledge” or clinical experience, however. It also incorporates my experiences as a family member and pro bono advocate for the Tourette’s Syndrome community. As the parent of two young adults with TS+ and as the spouse of a man with TS+, I know some of the pain and challenges that family members face on a daily basis.

This web site is my way of sharing some of what I’ve learned personally and professionally in my journey over the past 21 years. If it helps another family, teacher, or colleague, I am delighted.

http://www.smile-online.co.uk/ 0

SMILe was formed in 2008 after its founder discovered that she was not the only one suffering in (relative) silence through University with mental illness. Students she talked to felt their universities didn’t want to admit their students were ‘unhappy’, especially in the long term, and that as students their vulnerability was overlooked.

A Beginner’s Guide to Abnormal Psychology

http://www.purgatory.net/merits/ 0

One person in seven living in the US will require professional help for a psychological disorder at some time in their life. These disorders can take many forms and have a very wide range of symptoms. By helping people understand what these illnesses are and why they occur will help to take away from some of their mystique and better prepare people for dealing with these situations if they occur.
