Flagship Innovation

At IABDD we are dedicated to pioneering new ways to understand, address, and support individuals affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

Our flagship innovations aim to create scalable, impactful solutions that reach those in need and transform public and professional understanding of BDD.

Our Initiatives

These initiatives are born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with BDD, their families, and the professionals who support them.
We leverage technology, collaborative partnerships, and evidence-based approaches to drive meaningful change.

The Digital Platform

Our upcoming “Shield Your Self” platform is a ground-breaking digital ecosystem designed to provide accessible, personalised support for individuals with BDD.

It will integrate psychoeducation, moderated peer support forums, self-help tools based on CBT and ERP principles, and a directory of vetted BDD subject matter experts.

This innovation aims to overcome geographical barriers to care, reduce feelings of isolation, and empower users with tools for early intervention and ongoing recovery management.

We are actively seeking funding partners to bring this vision to full fruition.

We are establishing a Global BDD Educator Network, a train-the-trainer program designed to equip mental health professionals, educators, and community leaders worldwide with the skills to deliver culturally sensitive BDD awareness and early intervention workshops.

This initiative will create a ripple effect, expanding the reach of accurate BDD information and support into diverse communities and reducing the significant diagnostic delays often experienced by individuals with BDD.

These are just a glimpse of how IABDD is pushing the boundaries. We believe that innovation is key to making a lasting difference in the global response to BDD.
