Tourettes and trichotillomania- supporting a friend

Anyone with any experience of these conditions?

My friend's son is 9 and just received thus diagnosis. He has a few physical tics, which have been present for at least 3 or 4 years, but it has been the recent addition of hair pulling and the subsequent baldness that has prompted her to seek help.

His dad is a fairly aggressive man who is dismissive of his son and irritated by the tics.

I really want to help and support her but am clueless, and wondered if anyone in the SN section could help?
