TN Virtual Support Group Meeting

Virtual Event

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 | 6:00 PM, CDT

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. I
can’t wait to see you all!

Parent Perspectives: Making Alopecia Areata Treatment Decisions for and With Your Child

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2025 4PM PST/ 6PM CST/ 7PM EST

Parents play a central role in guiding care and treatment decisions for their children and adolescents with alopecia areata. This webinar brings together a panel of parents who have navigated these decisions firsthand to share their experiences and insights. Together, they will discuss the factors that influenced their treatment choices, how they have approached conversations with their children about living with alopecia areata, and what they’ve learned along the way. Pediatric dermatologist Britt Craiglow, MD, will join the panel to provide clinical perspective and address medical questions.

Note: Although treatments for alopecia areata will be discussed, this webinar will focus on parents’ perspectives in navigating treatment choices. For information specifically about treatments for pediatric alopecia areata, NAAF recommends watching this webinar recording: What’s New In Pediatric Alopecia Areata Treatment?
