[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

When a young person is in a dysregulated state, this is not the time for reasoning & questions. What happened? Why did you do this? You should have known better. The highest part of the brain(Pre-frontal cortex) thinking ,reasoning,decision making & learning memory is offline🧠🌱

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

If young people don't feel safe ,they won't learn. They can't learn. Their brains literally won't.🧠🌱

We are incredibly grateful to these fantastic guys for taking part in a Tough Mudder earlier this month to support Tourette's Action, raising £640. Duncan's daughter received support from us a few years ago, and he wanted to give something back—such a wonderful gesture!

Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you’re selfish. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad friend. You are just putting your mental health first, and that’s ok.

[Tourettes Action @tourettesaction]

Involuntary tics cause constant pain, but over 50% of people living with the TS have to wait more than a year to see a specialist. And when they do, 60% of patients are diagnosed & discharged in the same appointment with no ongoing care. That’s a heavy
load #TourettesHurts

[Tourettes Action @tourettesaction]

🧠💚 Ever wondered what Tourette Syndrome really is?
Contrary to common misconceptions, TS is not just about swearing – it's a complex condition that impacts individuals in unique ways. Let's spread understanding& compassion💚#TourettesAwareness #EducationMatters #TourettesHurts
