Membership - Join TLC

We hope that this website helps you in your search for information and support for trichotillomania and related body-focused disorders. But not all of TLC's resources can be published online. To get the most Information and to stay up-to-date, you need to become a MEMBER OF TLC.

Your membership makes a powerful statement to the world as TLC advocates for more research funding, the accurate portrayal of trich by the media, and better treatment options. TLC has helped tens of thousands of people since 1991. In one month alone, our website had 90,000 hits. Yet our membership is about 2,000 people strong. Together we accomplish a lot - but imagine what more we could do if everyone touched by trich joined together. There is strength - and healing -- in community.
