A Trich.org Survey: Discovering the Needs of the Skin Picking community

The Trichotillomania Learning Centre (TLC) was initially aimed at providing support to people with thrichotillomania (hair pulling disorder). However as TLC has grown it has come to recognised the links between trichotillomania and other conditions such as skin-picking disorder (SPD) which are classified as body-focussed repetitive behaviours (BFRB). They have since evolved into a prolific organization in the support of education, awareness and research into the cause and treatment of all BFRBs including skin picking. However, since skin picking, also known as dermatillomania or excoriation disorder, is still a growing community, resources and support to the skin-picking community is not at the same level as programs focused on hair pulling. As such TLC are conducting a survey to understand needs of the skin-picking community to guide them in creating and improving programs that will benefit those suffering from skin-picking disorder. TLC therefore invites you or anyone you may know with skin-picking disorder to participate in a short 10 minute survey to share your views. Your responses will be anonymous, but you also have the option to enter into a draw with a chance to win a $100 gift certificate which is redeemable at the TLC online store. Take the survey here >>
