So one I just mentioned with making sure, especially youth, that they have the support of being able to have access to wear a turban, wear a cap, and even wigs. There are a lot of organisation now, like Locks of Love that will make wigs for people who are dealing with alopecia at a sometimes free or discounted amount. So these are really great resources that are available that we wanna make sure that our patients know about because very nice wigs can be very expensive and cost prohibitive for some patients. So it's really great that some of these organisations have these things available now. Also, you know, just really educating patients on the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. They have a camp in which people, especially children, can go to and see other people who have the condition and it makes it less isolating. So really, you know, we try to serve as a resource to make sure that patients are aware of these great things that are out there, and then just, you know, knowledge about the various organisations like the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, all the great things that they do are really helpful.
