NEW TRICHOTILLOMANIA GROUP FORMING IN MERCER CTY/CENTRAL NJ

Looking for women of all ages to participate in a self-led support group. I recently moved from the Boston area, where I was in a support group for fifteen years. The group was immensely helpful to me on many levels, and gave all members the rare and wonderful opportunity to help each other live with this challenging disorder. I can't overestimate the benefits of peer support and the freedom to discuss personal issues with women who share them. Please contact me at mercertrich@yahoo.com.
