The TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors is a nonprofit organization in the mental health care sector that supports people experiencing body-focused repetitive behaviors, including hair pulling, skin picking, cheek biting, and nail biting. It pursues advocacy, awareness, connection, health education, and access to evidence-based treatments, aiming to improve the lives of roughly one in twenty individuals affected by BFRBs. The organization is based in Santa Cruz, California, and operates as a small nonprofit dedicated to this work. Its mission centers on those directly affected by BFRBs and the broader community seeking information and support. In 2025, the TLC Foundation announced a partnership with the International OCD Foundation to expand and strengthen resources for the BFRB community.
