Parents living with a child with a facial disfigurement
As with any child, we need to cater for their needs, our needs and the needs of our entire family.
Any new job requires adaptions of our own unique talents and abilities, whether it is learning a new software system to developing an entirely new skill set (career change).
We all live with the ability to:
•
Adapt
•
Adopt
•
Challenge
•
Re-group
•
Re-focus
