🫶BFRB Changemakers Awareness Week Campaign
Awareness week is Oct 1-7. We want to enlist our friends and family to help us raise awareness OUTSIDE of our existing BFRB Community.
Please help us raise awareness by:
1. ask SOMEONE YOU LOVE to join the campaign
2. ask them to share a photo of them doing a "hand heart" on Instagram/FB
3. ask them to copy/paste this description in ORANGE anytime between Oct 1 - 7.
They don't have to say WHO their loved one is.
Let's make this go GLOBAL!!!
I 🫶 love 🫶 my loved ones with a BFRB! I am raising awareness of this common, yet hidden mental health condition this #BFRBAwarenessWeek (Oct 1-7).
WHAT ARE BFRBs?
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are a group of complex mental health disorders that are characterized by the uncontrollable urge to pull, pick, scratch, or bite at one’s own hair, skin, or nails. They include excessive hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, nose picking, finger picking, cheek biting, lip picking and more.
An estimated 1 in 20 are affected by BFRBs to the point where it impacts their self esteem, confidence and daily life. If it's not YOU, it's definitely someone you LOVE!
Recovery is possible with LOVE & AWARENESS!
THANK YOU FOR HELPING RAISE BFRB AWARENESS:
If you, or a loved one, has a BFRB, please:
1. share this video to your Instagram/FB Stories
2. then share a photo of YOU to your Stories with a "hand heart", with this post description!
3. Encourage your loved ones to do the same.
