National Alopecia Month

Accordng to NAAF (National Alopecia Aerata Foundation), September is Alopecia Awareness Month! Help your community understand alopecia by going to NAAF's website www.naaf.org/awarenessmonthmaterials.html and send out a pre-written letter to your local media. The letter encourages the community to get involved in the youth campaign that educates young children about alopecia. This is an important campaign because many young children suffer self-esteem issues because of bullying and insecurities due to alopecia. Having others understand the disease can eventually make a child more comfortable around his or her peers, bringing up self-esteem and countering bullying from those who do not understand.
