BFRB Changemakers Global Group

Are you tired of feeling alone in your struggles with hair pulling and/or skin picking?

We are a peer support group open to adults 18 or older who want to learn more about Hair Pulling Disorder (trichotillomania) and Skin Picking Disorder (dermatillomania). We are here for you at all stages from learning what are BFRBs to recovery.

We focus on a growth mindset, learning BFRB fact from fiction, coping strategies at the moment, and life style changes for lasting recovery.

Meets: the first Sunday of the month 3:30 - 5pm Eastern Time
