Find support groups at www.naaf.org, or call wig shops and cancer support groups at hospitals to find girls with hair loss in your area.

There are several people in my area but sadly, they do not really make effort to form a group. The tend to just want to "blend" in and just lead their lives. We see them around but I've yet to find a group that actually meets. Years ago there was a group in the Philly area but when I called the "group leader" she said the group doesn't really meet anymore due to lack of interest or distance. CAP might be a better place for your daughter. It would be nice to have a group that got together even if it was to get together socially.

Maybe you could try a pen pal or if your able to Skype or something with someone on here. Ive had alopecia pretty much my entire life , and I decided to shave my head my sophomore year in high school and that was a tough decision for me so i can relate. Im always available to talk to if you or her ever needs it

she now has a phone and ipod, so she can contact back and forth when she needs someone to talk to after a rough day..
