Vancouver Alopecia Areata Support Group
Information
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!

Received two wigs on Thursday...SO fab, can't wait to show you all! After the previous wig got somewhat destroyed by me (lifespan only 1 yr instead of typical 2 yrs for me) over a few months of beach volleyball, I ordered two pieces to avoid two months of bad hair days while I wait for the new wig to arrive! Thank god they both turned out as expected! Straight this time. Kinda Lucy Liu! haha

It was so fun seeing you all ! Thanks for being a great host Dana, it was neat meeting your family. We always have so much to talk about and I can't wait for the next meeting, thanks Mo for offering to host, especially since you are in the vicinity of my favourite CBC celebrity...:) Thelma and Louse hilarious, was it my U turn in the middle of the street? Deeann you got home 20 later than me...wow...I am so glad you are looking for CBC, but I may be a tad biased in my view on how fabulous it is. Take care all, JLo

It was wonderful, as always. I like how you all do @.... I'm going to do that too.
@Dana - Thanks for hosting. It's great to see you so happy and relaxed.
@Mo - Great to meet you. I hope you can find a way to make rehabilitation yoga happen. It seems like a great outlet for you, and you can help others too, which is always a good thing.
@Tanya - Can't wait to hear what else is in the works for Knot Theory, breast cancer campaign...
@Jana - You guys were hysterical about CBC. I'm researching right now all the great shows you talked about, and of course want to see this fella who is so handsome.
@Cat - As usual, you crack me up with your escapades. I look forward to hearing what your next one is.
Sorry everyone else wasn't able to make it, and hope the next one works out. Thanks again for a lovely evening. I made it home at 3:20, and dropped into bed soon after. It was good meeting the family Dana.
