Portland Support Group
The support group meets from 7:00 to 9:00 pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month, at Maine Medical Center's Dana Center.
The meetings are free and open to the public. The primary focus of this support group is to provide support to parents and
caregivers of children with Tourette Syndrome, but anyone who would like to join us is more than welcome at the meetings.
For more information about the support group, you can contact Deb Kramlich at
