The Oxford #BFRB conference was a huge step towards spreading awareness, reducing shame and stigma, and bringing people together! 💚 Absolutely love the article, particularly the reflections on the role of lived experience! #Dermatillomania #trichotillomania #skinpicking #bfrbs
"A day that will have changed the lives of many who visited"
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 👇

We'll let Lottie have the final word this September! We LOVE to see adults, teens and children living well with alopecia. Not letting it hold them back.
A reminder that if you, or your child, are struggling with alopecia, get in touch. Let us see if we can help 💙

Alopecia Awareness Month 2024 may have come to an end but we will continue to do what we can to raise awareness of alopecia ALL YEAR ROUND!
Increased awareness hopefully leads to a decrease in societal stigma, and better understanding and empathy for all affected by hair loss 💙

Our expert anti-stigma consultant @jemackay commented that she'd never been in a more inclusive space, and that our lived experience leadership is 'off the charts'.

A highlight (from 2 days full of highlights!) was the 'scientists with lived experience' panel, where there was time to reflect and respond to audience questions. Our chair, Prof John Geddes, commented on the 'uniquely powerful' combination of expertise and lived experience.

And boy were we ambitious! We had an incredible, international, cast of speakers, on Day 1, and we covered a lot of ground in pursuit of understanding why some people pick, pull and bite at their hair, skin and nails. It's a puzzle of many pieces, and we made progress.

This event was different from a regular scientific conference. The Oxford and @BFRB_UK_Ireland teams were ambitious about the scientific programme, while also ensuring that our long-neglected BFRB community were front and centre.

I'm in Oxford today with @louiselyons_ recording video conversations at the #OxBFRBconf meeting.
It's the start of something amazing, which will help people affected by Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours, and raise awareness of BFRBs, which are largely ignored & stigmatised
