How can I help TLC?

We are stronger together, and when we work together, there's nothing we can't accomplish!

As a donor-supported nonprofit, TLC relies on the kindness and generosity of our community to sustain operations and programming. You can help TLC by spreading awareness of our work and impact to the BFRB community to those you think may connect to our purpose. Encourage them to become allies to the 1-in-20 people experiencing hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, cheek biting, and other associated behaviors. Attend health education and community programs. Participate in BFRB Awareness Week, annually October 1-7. Advocate to your local, state, and federal elected officials for additional funding to continue BFRB research.
