The Trichotillomania Learning Center, Inc, (TLC) is a national nonprofit organization supported by memberships established in 1991 by a sufferer of the condition to provide information, support, and referral resources to all who inquire about the experience and treatment of compulsive hair pulling.

The purpose in establishing TLC is to assist in the development of treatment options for those suffering from compulsive hair pulling and other related behaviors. Our goal is to insure that this information is accessible to those in need through us or other resources.
