Description: |
| |
In an effort to one day have all people understand
and have compassion for all individuals, the theme
for Alopecia Areata Awareness Month, 2006 is Starting
Early: Educating Today’s Youth about Alopecia
Areata. During the month of September, the National
Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) is urging all individuals
affected directly or indirectly by the mysterious autoimmune
skin disease to visit their local schools to educate
school administrators, nurses and teachers about alopecia
areata, and to provide the resources needed to encourage
teachers to add information on alopecia areata to their
already comprehensive health curriculum. |
