Teen Hangouts
A chill space for Teenagers ages 13-17
BFRBs suck for a lot of reasons.
- Fearing permanent damage.
- Affecting your social life.
- Stealing time from hobbies you love.
- Feeling like you don't know what else to turn to.
You aren't the only person in the world with a BFRB, even though it might feel that way sometimes.
Teen Hangouts are led by a BFRB Peer Coach who has been there.
Hang out with people who understand.
Meeting people who go through the same thing that you do is a great way to shatter the shame that comes with a BFRB. It feels better to be in community!
Teen Hangouts are a safe haven that allow you to:
Meet your Peer Coach!
Gessie Perez is passionate about working with kids, and is a proud BFRB advocate. She has had trichotillomania since the age of 11 and has made it her life's mission to give back to the BFRB community.
Gessie works professionally as a caregiver for children with developmental disabilities. In 2019, she started her “Trichster Sisters” program, in which she sends care packages to young girls with trichotillomania and acts as a mentor to them. She is the author of a memoir, Triumphant Trichster, and a kids book, A Trichy Situation. As a longtime member of the Keen family, Gessie is so thrilled to have a role working as a peer coach on the HabitAware team.
