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

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!

@JLo _ I should probably let Tanya take the floor on the hair stuff - she referred me to Toplace, where I have placed an order and am still waiting for my piece to come. :))

It is good to hear that CANAAF may be supportive of a Vancouver chapter. I think that under the Canadian name we have a great opportunity to reach more people and get the word out. It's great that this all seems to be happening at the right time. Excellent, CANAAF Vancouver.

@JLo - cool that you met CANAAF at NAAF! :) I guess the father was Jim, the founder of CANAAF!

I'd like to invite everyone to come to a little coffee meeting (tentatively Jan 23rd, Monday @ 8pm). btflbaldgrrl and SilkHead would like to discuss some strategies for the group. If you have some ideas for the future of the group, this will be a great meeting to attend.
cheers!
Tanya

I found CANAFF, when I talked to them in LA at the NAAFF conference, to be a very passionate, motivated group. I had a great conversation with a father of a young girl with Alopecia. It was wonderful to see his love and dedication to his child in action.

It would be interesting to see if they - CANAAF - were able to identify a core resource in major Canadian cities, and see the organization expand collectively . . . So we don't reinvent the wheel over and over again . . . Interesting to hear that NAAF has paid staff; did not know that. Let's get organizing, CANAAF Vancouver! : )
