New York, NY Virtual Support Meeting

Virtual Event

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 | 7:00 PM, EDT

This support group is an ideal place to come and talk with others about living with alopecia areata. It is the place to gain knowledge from those who have had years of experience. With time comes the ability to deal and cope with your own hair loss or that of a loved one. We are very fortunate that so many are willing to bring to the meetings their wisdom and advice to share in a direct but compassionate manner that reflects understanding and concern. The support group experience has its rewards for all who attend.

When Stress Takes Over: Understanding how the Nervous System Drives the Emotional Impact of Alopecia Areata

TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2025 4PM PST/ 6PM CST/ 7PM EST

Alopecia is visible. But what’s not always seen—and often not talked about—is how it affects the nervous system and the emotional impact it leaves behind for both patients and caregivers. This webinar session explores how alopecia areata can disrupt a person’s internal sense of safety and connection, sometimes leading to emotional shutdown, overwhelm, or withdrawal. With a focus on practical strategies and clear, science-informed guidance, this talk will help patients, caregivers, and the professionals who support them better understand the body’s stress response, and guide a return to calm, connection, and emotional steadiness.
