Show Notes

Welcome to this next episode of Alopecia Life and the Back-to-School recap #2. This is 2020's episode where I interview Artist and Animator, Lydia Hibbert and Kerry Montgomery, the Psychological Wellbeing lead from Alopecia UK where we chat about the importance of raising awareness in a way that kids can relate to. Through their Talking About Alopecia animation, which features voices of children living with alopecia, alopecia awareness has been able to make a difference in a strong and unique way. Whether it's your first time listening or are here for a second time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you feel has made the biggest difference in your child's life, or in your own when you were in school. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2e23-back-to-school-with-alopecia-uk-young-animators-club/id1479093384?i=1000531058813

This episode is sponsored by the Alopecia Roadmap for families. I developed this course over a year ago as I was working with parents of children living with alopecia. I was listening to similar situations and concerns come up time and time again, and felt an online course would be effective in reaching even more families and fitting into their busy schedules.
