Promoting Public Understanding of Trichotillomania

We are committed to educating people about trichotillomania and, particularly, to educating the public, schools and health professionals about how the disorder feels and treating trichsters sensitively as well as respectfully. If you would like somebody from Trichotillomania Support to come to your UK organisation to give a talk about trich, please contact us.

How you can help:

We are often looking for people to share their story in the press, helping spread knowledge and awareness of trichotillomania. Working with our press agency ensures that everything is handled respectfully and nothing is released that you’re unhappy with.
