Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada (or TSFC) is a Canadian voluntary organization based in Toronto, Ontario. It was formed in 1976, and is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those with or affected by Tourette syndrome through programs of education, advocacy, self-help and the promotion of research. It currently has 12 chapters in six Canadian provinces.
The foundation is notable for its numerous publications [1], including a widely distributed educator's handbook and the 2004 film Circle of Support, which had its premiere at the National Film Board of Canada [2].
