Coach Tay and AI features

Coach Tay is an AI-powered guide. It is designed to answer questions about tics in kid-friendly language and to provide encouragement. It is not a therapist, counselor, or medical professional. Responses from Coach Tay are generated automatically and may not always be accurate or appropriate to your specific situation.

If you or your child is experiencing a crisis, TicCoach will provide information about crisis resources including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Please use these resources — Coach Tay cannot replace human support in a crisis.
