2015 TLC Annual Conference Opening Address

Every year the Trichotillomania Learning centre (TLC) holds a conference highlighting new research, challenges and advancements in the field of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) such as trichotillomania and dermatillomania. This year the conference was held 10-12 April in Arlington, Virginia. The conference is aimed at people of all ages who live with hair pulling, skin picking and other BFRBs; their families and loved ones, and professionals who want to improve their knowledge and ability to treat these disorders. Even younger children and teenagers are welcome, with special programs specifically for this group. This year the opening address was even delivered by 16-year-old BFRB advocate Mackensie Freeman. If you missed the conference this year, save the date for next year, because next years conference has already been set for 15-17 April, in Dallas Texas, with registration for the conference opening in December 2015.
