AboutFace, The Craniofacial Family Society

AboutFace, The Craniofacial Family Society AboutFace’s vision is the elimination of the stigma and discrimination encountered by individuals with a facial difference.

Canada's facial difference charity with the mission of building a strong community that will promote equity and opportunity for individuals with facial differences through advocacy, education, and the development of inclusive spaces. AboutFace was founded in 1985 as the only charity in Canada supporting individuals of every age, with any type of facial difference and their families. Our psychosoci

al 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.

With kids heading back to school next week, it can be an exciting time, but it may also cause anxiety for students with a facial difference.

AboutFace has resources available to make the transition to school a little easier. Visit our publications page here: https://aboutface.ca/publications/ to find resources such as A Teacher’s Guide to Supporting a Student with a Facial Difference and guides on dealing with bullying for both children and parents/guardians.

Heading to college or university? Our Self Advocacy resource may be helpful to ease the transition.

We hope that everyone has a great school year!

At AboutFace, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, accepted, and valued.

Let’s celebrate the people who make our community stronger through kindness, understanding, and acceptance.

Tag someone who makes you feel like you belong, and let them know how much they mean to you!

Together, we can help create a more inclusive world, and help others discover the AboutFace community.

Many people with facial differences may not even know that support and community is out there. We can change that.

AboutFace is proud to congratulate the recipients of the 2026 AboutFace Post-Secondary Scholarship!

Laura Hampel is beginning the first year of her PhD, focusing on retinal nerve degeneration and its relationship to neurodegenerative disease. She is passionate about vision science and furthering understanding of associated illnesses.

Lindsay Sutherland will be attending Queen's University for the first year of her nursing degree, which she was drawn to because of the surgeries and hospital experiences that she had. Lindsay was the team captain of her varsity soccer team, and loves being a soccer coach.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the CIBC Foundation for their generous support of our scholarship program and their commitment to advancing educational opportunities for those in the facial difference community.

Congratulations, Laura and Lindsay!

Stay tuned to our social media channels to see when our 2027 scholarship application opens and share with your friends and networks! This could be a life-changing opportunity for a student with a facial difference.
