Welcome to TSA's last eNews for 2023.

In this issue:

• Save the date for our Community Connect event in Sydney on 23 March 2024
• Please share our Christmas appeal

The TSA team will be taking a well-earned break from Monday 18 Dec to Mon 1 Jan. We know this can be a tough time for many of our TSC Community. If you require support we encourage you to reach out to your health care professionals. 

We wish everyone a safe Christmas time.

Best wishes, Jackie Gambrell, CEO, TSA 

Vigabatrin is a common treatment for infantile spasms, epilepsy and other seizure disorders.  It is widely prescribed for people living with TSC. You can read about recent research into the eye-related side effects of vigabatrin in children by visiting the Research section on our website. 

TSA is planning to host a TSC Community Connect event in Sydney on Saturday 23 March.

This event will be for adults and carers of adults and children living with TSC. This will be a great opportunity to get together to hear from expert TSC health care professionals and meet and share experiences with other people living with the same sorts of challenges as you and your family. 

Save the date now. More details to follow in the new year. 

If your child living with TSC is starting school in 2024, you should check out our In Safe Hands resources.

We have a booklet for family members and carers and another for your child's teachers and educators.

Families who have already used these resources say they are 'an amazing source of information based on real life experiences.'

TSA relies on the generosity of its TSC Community to continue delivering its essential services and programs. 

Please donate to our Christmas appeal if you can and please share our appeal on social media or via email with your friends and family this giving season.
