Vancouver Alopecia Areata Support Group

Information

Vancouver Alopecia Areata Support Group

Hello Vancouverites! Connecting is one of the best ways to feel happier and become more informed! Come as you are, whether you are shy or outgoing. This is a genuine and fun group where all of us - new to alopecia or experienced, hair-wearer or au natural, seeking treatment or not - all come together and be supportive, informative, and positive for one another. After 4+ years of running this group, I can say for sure that you'll feel better after a meetup! :)

Come to our monthly meetups, or, start by joining this group and be in the loop of upcoming meetups! Sometimes I include alopecia news / remedy / stories too.

If your kid / teen has alopecia, please contact us and we'll put you in touch with other parents! It'll be, I believe, quite awesome for your child :)

Upcoming Meetups

This group gets together monthly at one of the members' homes - a cozy, positive, and fun environment, for those with alopecia. We are here to support one another, and every meetup has been amazingly mood-lifting.

Join us here and we'll send next meeting details to you in a group email!

You can always get a hold of us via AW messaging or at alopecia.vancouver[at]gmail.com

We are affiliated with CANAAF (Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation).

Next meet up: We meet about once a month. Please email Tanya at the emil address above!

Natalie, I'm so glad you felt welcomed. Hope to see you at the next meeting.

Thanks so much to everyone.  I felt like a kid in a candy shop constantly interrupting to ask questions.  I appreciate how open, candid, and willing to share everyone is.  I actually got home and pulled my hair right back and thought when it gets to that point maybe I will look as stunning as the rest.  It was a big step for me on the road to acceptance, however I know there will be a lot of valleys coming up in the near future, but at least it was a comforting moment.   I look forward to the next meeting and getting to know everyone better.
