Why is diversity so important in helping people with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours? Today we celebrate all of the voices and perspectives https://t.co/by5Hy6cYnl
#BFRBs#Diversity#Science#Collaboration
This week we're delving into the fascinating world of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours or BFRBs.
Many of us are affected by these behaviours - hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting, but there is huge stigma and shame around them https://t.co/IvSir33415
Odd to be showing off my new branding at the same time as announcing that I'm off to pastures new. I can be found as @thetrichprof or @ClareMackay on other platforms. Look out for the peacock feather!

To mark #BFRBweek, Professor Clare Mackay shares her reflections on the first ever Oxford BFRB Conference, held last month. @ClareEMackay@TheTrichProf@BFRB_UK_Ireland#OxBFRBConf 👇

The lovely people at @BFRB_UK_Ireland are restarting their regular support groups. Many people who attended our conference discovered the power of connecting - these support groups are a great way to keep reducing the impact of living with BFRBs. 💙
Our online support groups and events are returning this week after our summer break! We are starting with a Community Room on Sunday at 2pm BST - register here: https://t.co/1art166LlS
Exciting PhD (DPhil) opportunity with us @OxExpPsy and @KoaHealth. Develop experience of digital psychological interventions for youth mental health and of working across academia and industry, while developing top notch stats skills. More info here ⬇️⬇️

Can you help us get this research right?
We don't have good information about how many children are struggling with BFRBs like hair-pulling, skin-picking, nail-biting etc. This is a chance to get information from a very large no of people across England.
@BFRB_UK_Ireland, thank you so much for warmly welcoming me into your family this weekend. I am still processing all of the amazing moments and connections. You undoubtedly changed lives and the ripples of that will go on and on. #LivedExperienceLeadership at it's very finest 🙌
@Caro_Harbison@BFRB_UK_Ireland@morethanadodo A few key people I couldn't tag on photos: @william_the_sir @TaffiGB @pollywaite Arne Mould, Tash Willson, Michelle Davidson. And I will be eternally grateful to @hannamsmyth for SOOO much help with everything.
That's a wrap on our #OxBFRBConf. I'm so grateful to everyone who organised, ran, catered, filmed/covered, funded, sponsored, spoke and attended both our scientific day at @morethanadodo and our community day at the University of Oxford's @OxPsychiatry.
So thanks again to everyone who made it happen, and a special last thanks to @Caro_Harbison, who emailed me 15 months ago to say she'd spotted my @thetrichprof socials. She connected me with @BFRB_UK_Ireland and said 'I wish we could have a conference'. Will this do Caroline?
