British Columbia Support Group

Second Tuesday of each month
Next Date: Tuesday, November 14, 2023
6:45 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. PDT

CANAAF’s British Columbia Support Group is an opportunity for anybody experiencing hair loss to connect and chat with likeminded individuals. Navigating hair loss is a process and being able to connect with those with similar experiences can allow us to feel less alone in the journey.  The BC group is a great way to connect and build a support system.
This upcoming meeting will be held on Zoom. Email Sarah below to receive the meeting invite.
