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 :)
Location: Vancouver
Members: 90
Latest Activity: Jan 12, 2020
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 Devan! Sorry to hear that...I hope you feel better.
...On second thought, coming out could turn the day around, if you change your mind ;)

Hi everyone,
I was really looking forward to meeting everyone. I had a tough day at work, and I am not feeling the greatest. I think it's best I stay home and rest. Hope to meet you all soon!

So sorry - would you mind telling me again what the address is for the meeting tonight - I wrote it down but have misplaced it in all my paperwork.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Stress makes anything worse. I am sorry, but I just have real difficulty with the idea of stress as a root cause, and most particularly with alopecia. It might be a trigger, but there has to be something there TO trigger. Or there would be a LOT more of us. : ) Last week my six year old said: Mom, when you say we are running late, it makes my stomach hurt. I said: Well Tove, that is a really great awareness, because our bodies quite often communicate things that start in our heads and hearts. It is really important that you said that out loud.

Interesting article, "Researchers may have accidentally discovered a new solution".. Researches in UCLA find a link between stress and gastronintestinal function. I totally think the most autoimmune diseases are caused by unhealthy gut and stress.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110216185406.htm
This is a good website if your interested in up to date info on research..
