CHANGING FACES

The Changing Faces' Yorkshire and the Humber service, funded by Children in Need, helps support children, young people and their families, affected by a visible difference.

Our highly skilled practitioner can help families and young individuals up to the age of 18, in managing everyday situations like staring, questions, comments, as well as more particular issues like bullying at school, support in beginning college or University, or preparing for surgery.

Your child may have been born with a birthmark, cleft lip and palate or other condition. Perhaps, you are a young person with a mark or scar from a dog bite, or cancer, or have developed a condition like facial palsy, vitiligo, or acne. The size, cause or visibility of the visible difference doesn't always relate to how it can make you feel as a young person, child, or how it can affect the family as a whole. What is important is how big an impact it has on everyday life.
