AboutFace explained

AboutFace is a Canadian registered charity founded in 1985.[1] AboutFace is the only Canadian charity dedicated to providing support and programs to individuals with facial disfiguration, and their families.[2]

Since its creation, AboutFace has aided individuals with a facial disfigurement via a network of cleft, craniofacial and specialty teams and clinics. Following initial treatment, it offers an ongoing system of speakers, presenters[3] and camps[4] for youth, ages 10 to 18, who have a facial difference. The overall educational program was created by Paul Stanley,[5] of the rock band Kiss, who was born with an ear deformity.

AboutFace has since gained chapters and is mentioned in US government resource lists.[6] [7]
