The Spanish project for The TLC Foundation for Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) is hosting educational workshops (see flyer attached).
BFRB is a general term that refers to any repetitive self-grooming behavior (e.g., pulling, picking, biting or scraping of the hair, skin or nails) that results in damage to the body. The difference between normal grooming behaviors and a BFRB arises when the behavior(s) cause substantial personal distress and/or interfere with daily functioning. The two most common BFRBs are trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) and excoriation (skin picking) disorder. BFRBs are equal-opportunity disorders, affecting people from all backgrounds and ethnicities. We are currently launching new outreach efforts aimed at better serving communities who have had less access to TLC's resources such as the Hispanic community. One of these efforts is facilitating a free educational event for the Spanish speaking community.
The free program consists of a variety of Spanish workshops on treatment, parent and child support, and a closing support group. The persons affected by BFRBs will also be able to come and connect with others, get answers, and find support
