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!

The only weeknight I am free is Monday, which is a bit restrictive for the group. Please go ahead. Maybe those interested in joining in on planning the beach walk, could meet for coffee one Sunday aft on Commercial . . .

Again, not for me, but have fun! I would like to start discussion of the beach walk. Thinking about low tide at Locarno, on a sunny day in February or March. What I am thinking - as a start - is that a core group of us meets, and those of us who want to "free our scalps" do as such, and just enjoy the walk at low tide. I would also like to contact the Georgia Straight, to see if they are interested in promoting this activity, to raise awareness. So the idea is that we would have to be comfortable with being photographed and interviewed, if they are interested. My hope is that this leads to a second walk, with attendance by potential new members, who may never have met someone with alopecia before. Thoughts? Anyone want to work with me on this?
