WHY BE BASIC?
Get ready to be empowered and supported by a crew of people who get it!
Authentic Vibes, Real Lives—Hear From The Crew!
Real Talk
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with alopecia for an extended period, you've landed in just the right place. Here we engage in lively discussions about alopecia’s nuances and topics beyond hair loss.
What We Do
In our Alopecia Support Group Meet Ups, we come together as a compassionate and understanding community to provide emotional support, share experiences, and exchange valuable information related to alopecia, a condition characterized by hair loss.
Our group serves as a safe space where individuals affected by alopecia can openly discuss their challenges, triumphs, and concerns. We foster a sense of unity, empathy, and empowerment, aiming to alleviate the emotional impact of hair loss and promote self-confidence.
Together, we discover what it means to be Unapologetically Bare and, more importantly, why YOU were never designed to be basic!
Crown Chronicles Alopecia Support Meet-Ups emphasize three important principles: respect, privacy, and support.
RESPECT
Respectful Communication: Please be mindful of your language and tone. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, so let's communicate with kindness and empathy.
Respect for Differences: Alopecia affects individuals in various ways. Some may be comfortable discussing their experiences openly, while others may prefer a more private approach. Let's respect these differences and support each other accordingly.
Cultural Sensitivity: Be aware of cultural differences and avoid making assumptions. What might be acceptable or helpful in one culture may not be in another.
PRIVACY
Confidentiality: What's shared in this session stays in this session. Please respect the privacy of others by not sharing personal stories or information outside of this group without explicit permission.
Anonymous Participation: If you prefer to remain anonymous, feel free to use a pseudonym or avoid sharing specific details that could identify you. Everyone's comfort and sense of safety are of utmost importance.
Consent for Advice: Before offering advice or suggestions, ask if the person is open to receiving them. Respect their boundaries and understand that not everyone may be seeking solutions at the same pace.
Google Meets Use: The Google Meets link is intended exclusively for the participants of the session, and its dissemination is strictly prohibited; it will be furnished only after the registration has been reviewed and approved.
SUPPORT
Empathy and Validation: Everyone's journey with alopecia is unique. Offer empathy and validation rather than judgement. A supportive environment encourages open sharing and fosters a sense of community.
Encourage Positive Language: Let's focus on positive and empowering language. Instead of dwelling on the challenges, let's discuss coping mechanisms, personal growth, and achievements.
Resource Sharing: Feel free to share resources, whether it's information on treatments, support groups, or inspirational stories. However, always check the credibility of the information to ensure it's reliable.
Our primary goal is to create a space where everyone feels heard, understood, and supported. If at any point you feel uncomfortable or have concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.
When & Where
The crew gathers every third Thursday of the month from 7:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Google Meets. I must warn you that our discussions often extend beyond the scheduled time because the conversations can become quite engaging and lively!
