Face value
Article Abstract:
Facially-disfigured people need lots of reassurance to overcome feelings of self consciousness and embarrassment. They often feel angry about the injuries they have suffered, becoming defensive or aggressive when in social situations, or withdrawing into self-isolation. Changing Faces is a UK charity which aims to help people with facial disfigurement overcome these feelings and develop new skills to help them lead a fuller life. The development of psychosocial skills encourages greater social interaction.
