A pilot study evaluated the efficacy of a resource activation program as an alternative intervention for children and adolescents (n=24) with tic disorders \citep{31207850}. Their preliminary results suggests that after 16 treatment sessions, tics were significantly diminished using the YGTSS and other tic-related measures. Larger cohorts and longer follow-up will hopefully establish whether this approach might become an alternative or adjunct to established CBT approaches for treating tics such as HRT and ERP.

Tics, family and society
