What is About Face?
AboutFace’s vision is the elimination of the stigma and discrimination encountered by individuals with a facial difference.
To fulfill our vision, we focus on our mission to cultivate equity and opportunity for individuals with a facial difference through supportive programming, advocacy, and education.
While each person’s experiences with a facial difference are unique, people with facial differences share similar experiences in day-to-day life that may include:
Being stared at, ridiculed, bullied, or socially excluded
Encountering stereotypes, discrimination, and barriers to socialization, education, employment, and other aspects of society.
Our psychosocial programming, awareness campaigns, and education work provide direct support while building inclusive and safe spaces. We work collaboratively with other stakeholders: volunteers; donors; allies in the medical, dental, and social service communities; employers; educators; and others.
