What’s the Hands-Down-a-Thon?

Like a jog-a-thon or read-a-thon, the Hands-Down-a-Thon is a sponsorship event designed especially for people with trich. You commit to using the behavioral change websites StopPulling.com or StopPicking.com for two months, and you ask your friends and family to sponsor you with a pledge to TLC.

In return, you will receive your second month absolutely free (the monthly fee will be refunded to your credit card) on StopPulling.com or StopPicking.com, the leading online behavior management sites for trich and skin-picking.

What are StopPulling.com and StopPicking.com?

StopPulling.com and StopPicking.com are web sites designed by a member of TLC’s Scientific Advisory Board, Suzanne Mouton-Odum, in collaboration with several colleagues. These sites ask you to track your daily pulling and picking behaviors – where they happen, what you are feeling when they happen, and how severe they are – in order to help you attain greater awareness of your patterns. The sites then suggest behavior management strategies that are customized to you, helping you to gain greater understanding and control of your triggers and responses.

These are very challenging – and very rewarding – behavior change programs, and many TLC members have seen positive changes in their behaviors as a result of their participation in StopPulling.com and StopPicking.com. So TLC is partnering with these websites in the 2008 Hands-Down-a-Thon to raise funds for TLC.
