Life Stages – Adult Issues

More often than not, the adult population seems to be forgotten when it comes to programs and services to help them deal with living with a facial difference. For many adults, their issues and situations can be as simple as meeting new people or more complex as treatment decisions, overcoming social fears, independence and personal relationships. This can often lead to withdrawal and isolation. Through our new adult workshop series: You, Beyond the Difference, information and networking programs, AboutFace encourages and empowers adults with facial differences to deal with their daily challenges and turn them into opportunities. Everyone has something to offer, but it is up to the individual to take control of their situation and create a life experience that honours their values and beliefs.
