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!

Or at the very least, let's raise glasses to one another! But I do like the skype idea! Tanya - bring your laptop?

Welcome Sandra! I'm so glad you joined our group! :)
Everyone, both Vancouver and Calgary are meeting on Feb 2nd! What are the chances? What do you say let's do a little video skype on Feb 2nd, just to say hi?
I was talking to Cat (Cati) the other day, and she suggested that one day we do road trips between Calgary and Vancouver groups. Haha!
xoxo

Cool Alopecian Mothers (Parents) CAMP - love it btflbaldgrrl - you've got some good ideas goin' on!

And so critical for them to meet other parents with alopecia. I dance with a woman whose mother has alopecia, but she suspects her mother has never met someone else with our "condition." When I told my daughter - who knows this other dancer - her response was - COOL! Gave momma a smile too. : ) Cool Alopecian Mothers (Parents). I sense a subgroup. : )

@btflbaldgrrl et al - love the idea of including our kids - so important for them to see how we handle adversity - with support, community and a good sense of humor!

That's a great idea....I'll have a better idea on interest and commitments from the other ladies after our meeting in early Feb. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Sandra!! Might there be interest in a collected effort, to build CANAAF Calgary and CANAAF Vancouver, simultaneously?

Hi Vancouver,
Tanya suggested I poke in and introduce myself. I'm from Calgary, at one time we had a formal Support Group, but it has since dissolved. There are a few of us who keep in touch on a regular basis and gather for our "Wig and Wine" nights. It's always been a casual gathering at the home of one of the ladies....or a night out at a restaurant. I've had ongoing interest from some new ladies, so we too are trying to create a support group that is a bit larger...but still keeping it informal. I'll keep you posted on our "successes" and perhaps we can all benefit from some shared information. It looks like the Vancouver group has a spectacular group of women assembling to do some amazing things. All my best! Sandra
