The Visible Difference Parenting Toolkit is a new self-guided e-book created to support parents and carers of children with visible differences. Developed by researchers at the Centre for Appearance Research, with input from parents with lived experience and clinicians, the toolkit is designed to improve the well-being of families navigating these challenges.
The e-book provides a wide range of support, including:
- Practical advice for supporting your child and caring for yourself
- Guidance on tricky situations – from teasing and bullying to healthcare appointments
- Interactive activities based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, to help manage thoughts, feelings, and everyday challenges.
We are proud to share that this work includes contributions from one of our Medical Advisory Board members, Maia Thornton, PhD, alongside input from our CEO, Diana Perry.
