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!

Oh no! my family and I are camping on Texada for half of August.
Don't give up on me! I will be there in the Fall. Oops! - Italy in October/Nov. E.

Chris, Great! I'm glad you have the movie, let's have a movie night in the fall sometime.

About the 4th, I will be out of town but enjoy the picnic.

I'll be visiting my parents on August 4th, but sounds like you have a nice picnic planned. Have fun.

It was good to see you too Jana. Quite an experience for the first time I'm sure.

@JLo - I have Food Inc and would be happy to show it at my house or someone else's - great documentary.

Saturday 4 August is International Alopecia Day.

I would like to propose that we meet at Locarno Beach with our own picnic or treat item, and just hang out together.

I will contact Enzina about her group contacting us.

I also met a 4 year old alopecian boy at NAAF this weekend, and will invite he and his parents. Hopefully Enzina can encourage some more kids to attend as well.

Cheers all. Deanne, was so great to see you at NAAF!

Catching a 6am flight that direction, tomorrow morning. : )

Anyone going to the NAAF Conf this year in DC?
Hope to see you there!!!

About the corn, Tanya...it's in everything! Michael Pollan's "Omnivore's Dilemma" has a whole section on it in his book. He has a documentary called " Food Inc", which I haven't seen and want to. We could maybe have a movie night!
