BFRB Awareness Week: October 1 to 7, 2025


Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) include actions like hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting. These are not bad habits or flaws to fix. They are ways that some people’s brains and bodies cope, regulate, and find relief.


Too often, BFRBs are hidden because of shame or misunderstanding. In reality, many people live with them, and nobody should feel alone or judged for how they meet their needs.


Awareness matters. By using affirming language, challenging stigma, and creating spaces of compassion and understanding, people with BFRBs can feel recognised and supported rather than pathologised or dismissed.


BFRB Awareness Week is a chance to spread awareness and kindness and to move toward a world where BFRBs are understood as part of human neurodiversity.

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
