About us
On behalf of Canadians who have been diagnosed with alopecia areata, the Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation supports those affected by alopecia areata, promotes awareness and education of this auto-immune disease and raises funds for research. CANAAF offers a support network that provides you and your family with the right environment to develop your own perspective and experience of alopecia, if and when you seek such assistance. We will make sure that you hear about current research, and that you have the opportunity to provide related feedback and insights. We want you to join us in making alopecia more known, as a disease. CANAAF will work with other alopecia-focused organizations to share ideas and activities, so that you benefit. And we are here as your collective voice, in communicating with health professionals and government.

We have some exciting news for you!

Earlier this year, we invited four patients living with alopecia to tell their story about how this chronic autoimmune disease affects their lives. “Attack from Within” follows Christal, Jen, Julia, and Sasha as they share how alopecia affects their identity, their relationships, as well as the added burden living with this disease places on their lives. Watch more of Christal, Jen, Julia, and Sasha’s stories below. Thank you to the Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation (CANAAF) for your support to help amplify the voices of alopecia patients across Canada. #Alopecia #AlopeciaAreata ------- Plus tôt cette année, nous avons invité quatre patients vivant avec la pelade à raconter comment cette maladie auto-immune chronique affecte leur vie. « Une attaque venant de l’intérieur » présente Christal, Jen, Julia et Sasha, qui parlent de la façon dont la pelade affecte leur identité et leurs relations et du fardeau supplémentaire qu’impose cette maladie dans leur vie. Nous tenons à remercier la Fondation canadienne de l’alopécie areata (FCANAA) pour son appui visant à amplifier la voix des patients atteints de la pelade partout au Canada.
