Abstract
ABSTRACT A group program involving a therapeutic camp weekend was developed for adolescents living with a facial difference. The camp included a therapeutic program that emphasized peer support, task mastering, and self-reflection. Following the camp, evaluation surveys and two focus groups with adolescents and parents were conducted eliciting the perceived impacts of camp. Findings identify benefits of the camp group program including getting to know others, reducing isolation, increasing self-esteem and promoting peer support. Thoughtful recommendations by the campers themselves and the parents of the campers are presented. A social and therapeutic group intervention approach offers promise to adolescents with facial difference and their families.
