NAAF VANCOUVER

The NAAF Vancouver Support Group

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that affects about 50,000 Canadians.  The condition affects males and females of all ages and can have a tremendous impact on the lives of both patients and their families. Support groups play an important role in imparting accurate information to patients and families with new diagnoses as well as those who have had the condition for many years.   These groups connect people at different stages of coping and provides a network of support.

The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) was founded 25 years ago and has a number of patient support groups throughout the United States and Canada.  I’m honored to join the NAAF Vancouver Support Group in 2018 as Medical Advisor.  Four meetings are planned for the year in Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter in Vancouver. Individuals with alopecia areata interested in attending these sessions may contact the NAAF for information on dates, times and location or contact our office.
