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!

Hi Everyone! I hope you all received the invite to the CANAAF Kids Club dinner on Saturday the 28th. Please RVSP to me if you will be attending. The idea is to bring together approx ten families of children who have alopecia, as well as the NAAF and AW groups, for a social dinner.

And for those of you who have not seen this yet, AlopeciaUK pulled of an amazing flashmob on Sunday in Liverpool, to start off Alopecia Awareness Month. NAAF, CAP, AlopeciaUK, CANAAF, and many other groups are putting up some informative and inspiring posts on their websites and through social media to mark this month.

I will mark it on the calendar. Thanks so much Jana and Erin. I look forward to seeing everyone again. It seems like it's been too long.

Hi all,
As you know our fearless leader, Tanya, is leaving us for a time to explore and further develop her entrepreneurial spirit! We wish you lots of success Tanya!
In her absence, Erin and I will be running the group. We have decided to be the "admin" on two month cycles, beginning with myself (JLo) doing Sept and Oct.
Our next meet up will be at my place on Sept 15th, Saturday at 7pm. I will email the address and a reminder to those interested, in the next few days. Hope you are all taking care and I look forward to seeing you, JLo

Our July meetup was pretty awesome! As usual haha. Thanks Erin for hosting!! :)

@Deeann Thanks for sharing your NAAF experience! Love the project you're working on...would love it if you can send a digital version for me to share with the group. Yeah?

@Dana So exciting to see your hair on its way back! I know it's hard to predict when the hair will come and go, but you pull off both looks, so enjoy it either way ;)

@Mila Hope bf liked the mini makeover :D

BAM! is this Wednesday! 139 guests so far! More info here:

It would mean a lot if you can come and support this event. 100% proceeds go to BAM (Bold Alopecia Movement), a non-profit foundation which Erin and I started in order to raise positive awareness and help people with alopecia feel more confident, happy, and comfortable as they are :)

The best way is to follow the link above to buy the tickets online! Help us meet our funding goal!

Thanks so much for hosting Elenore. It was great to meet the Laura and Mila. We stopped to say goodbye to Dana and you were lost in the crowd. I'm looking forward to going to the BAM event on the 20th. Hope to see you all there.
