2025 - 2026



From Connection to Collaboration: The Road to National Parity



I was thrilled to attend the BFRB Get Together in NYC, hosted by our allies at BFRBChangemakers.org and powered by HabitAware. It was an incredible opportunity to reconnect with the community and see a dear friend—and former client—who represents the very heart of why HelpMe2Stop exists.


Uniting with the BFRB & IOCDF Alliance

True progress happens through continuous, unified effort. Standing alongside trailblazers like Aneela from HabitAware and our partners within the IOCDF BFRB Special Interest Group (SIG) underscores a powerful reality: we are stronger together. Aneela’s ongoing dedication to uplifting the entire BFRB ecosystem—shining a spotlight on all sister nonprofits—perfectly mirrors our vision of absolute data transparency and collaborative advocacy.


From Salon Chair to Social Change

Seeing my former client thriving serves as a powerful "forensic" reminder of our mission. My journey began with a clinical foundation in nursing, but it was clients like Debra who proved we needed a larger mandate. Watch Debra’s story of sustained 15+ year remission achieved through our non-destructive Stabilization Protocol.


Our 2026 Mandate

This level of success can no longer stay confined to the cosmetic world. HelpMe2Stop is a 501(c)(3) on a mission to prove that hair stabilization is a medically recognized intervention. By uniting with leaders like HabitAware, BFRB Changemakers, and the IOCDF network, we are building the evidence-based bridge needed to move from awareness to National Insurance Parity.

One Policy Change Is Worth A Thousand Grants.



Every dollar you invest has a direct, systemic impact on the BFRB community. Your contribution is not just a donation—it is the fuel for our National Advocacy Strategy. We are building the legislative infrastructure to secure insurance coverage for all.

Your Investment Drives Three Critical Pillars:

  1. Securing National Insurance Parity: We are fighting to update medical prosthetic codes (A9282/S8095) so that BFRB stabilization is covered alongside Cancer and Alopecia. Your funds go directly toward the legal and legislative efforts required to move the mission from Pennsylvania’s HR 875 to a federal mandate.
  2. Validating Clinical Oversight: We are expanding the National P.H.D. Registry to regulate the styling industry. Your support ensures that every "safe space" salon operates under our "Do No Harm" Clinical Protocol, backed by our 15+ year documented remission data.
  3. Empowering the "Silent Sufferer": We provide the "forensic proof" needed to validate the BFRB struggle as a medical condition, not a cosmetic choice. Your investment ensures that no one has to pay out-of-pocket for life-changing medical stabilization.


Your support is the foundation of our legislative power. We are grateful for your partnership in changing national policy.
