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!

Hey there, I'm the latest addition to the Vancouver Group and hope to meet many of you on Thursday evening.

Tanya cornered me at Park Royal one afternoon - bright eyed and full of energy she asked if I had Alopecia. She brightened my day beyond belief when she launched into a conversation about her experience and what she was trying to do with a local support group. I've met a few men with Alopecia (they smile when they see a woman with a bald head) but hadn't met any women until I ran into Tanya and then Chris this past December. I've just read your discussion threads over the last few months - you are an amazing group of women!

Perhaps my daughter and I can skype with you guys on the 2nd, before she goes to bed. Lol. This alopecia community we are building just has me bursting with excitement. : )

@btflbaldgrrl lol I like that you got so excited about it you forgot that you won't be there on the 2nd! No worries, next time. Btw, CANAAF will postpone skyping with us too (they just had a meeting). So maybe we can do one altogether one day :)

And yes I can bring my laptop to Jana2 (JLo) 's place for Feb 2nd!

Oops. I won't be there on the 2nd. : (
