Dear Ms. Rodham Clinton:
Please forgive my intrusion on the 8:30 p.m. New York to
Washington, D.C. shuttle on Tuesday, January 26. It was not until
after I arrived in Washington that I learned of the many activities
that brought you to New York that day. I hope that your ability to
take a brief rest on the plane, free from well-intended wellwishers, was not irreparably disturbed.
Once again, on behalf of Teamsters General President Ron carey
and the New Teamsters Union, I would like to express our heartfelt
congratulations on your much-deserved victory. Although on a much
smaller scale, the recent triumph of democracy in the New Teamsters
Union also portends a future of hope and prosperity for millions of
Americans and their families.
Like President Clinton, General
President Ron Carey, a client with whom I have worked for more than
ten years, was initially given only a slim chance of defeating an
entrenched, conservative leadership.
Like President Clinton,
additionally, by shaking hundreds of thousands of hands and
campaigning tirelessly for more than two years, a candidate
dedicated to progressive political action, honesty and reform
prevailed.
As you may know, Ron Carey was elected in the first rank-andfile election in the Teamsters' history. As I mentioned on the
plane, shortly after taking office in February, 1992, General
President Carey established a committee to study the problem of'
health care as it affects the more than 1. 2 million Teamster
members and their families.
The committee has been meeting and
gathering data on this critically important issue. If we can be of
any assistance in your endeavors, please do not hesitate to call.

Once again, it was a great pleasure meeting you on Tuesday
night. The role you will play in the future -- and the role you
have played to date -- is indeed formidable and inspirational. I
hope that our paths will cross again.

Dear Hillary,
I enclose a letter to the ed. of Harper's -- never made
it into their letters column; I was in England when the Lasch
article appeared so didn't see it ~until much later, hence
I suppose too late for my response.
(Incidentally the case on
page 2, 9-#p-old black kid in Juvy, was one of Bob's,many
years ago) •
Since my book (American Way of Birth) came out I've
been rather swamped with speaking engagements. The 38& latest
is I'm to address the Commonwealth Club of
California, March 12.
It's got to be written out, so I'll send you a copy when I've
done it. It's a two-fold pitch, as in my book: 1) legalization
of lay-- or direct-entry-- midwives in Calif., 2) singlepayer universal health program like the one in Canada.
Best regards,
Jessica Mitford

Letter to Editor
During the late unlamented election campaign we
y
were exposed night and day to the Bush/Quale version
of Hillary Clinton's views on family matters -- "She
equates marriage with slavery!"
"She would encourage
children to sue their parents!"
A lot of campaign claptrap, hardly worth bothering
with.
Of more substance is Christopher Lasch's piece
"Hillary Clinton, Child Saver" in the October Harper's,
in which he draws on articles and speeches by Hillary
Clinton to prove that, as he puts it, "what she values
will not help the family."
In a convoluted and sometimes confusing passage
about the reforms of early twentieth-century do-gooders,
in which the control of delinguent children was transferred from parents to the juvenile courts, Mr. Lasch
seems to favor restoring "some of the parental respon-
�page 2
sibility expropriated by the state."
(His emphasis)
But, says he, "Clinton proposes a very different solution.
She wants to abolish minority status, to give
children and adolescents the same rights as adults,
and to integrate them into our adversarial system of
justice."
And why not? say I.
Anyone with first-hand ex-
perience of the juvenile court system, in which the
young suspect is denied the basic civil rights accorded under the Constitution to adults accused of crime
viz. right to counsel, right to remain silent, right
to bail, right to confront their accusers, right to
call witnesses, right to jury trial, the presumption
of innocence -- will attest to the failure of the system.
Lawyers may rail against its injustice, but it is above
all the parents of kids who must feel the frustration
of standing by while children are being railroaded.
Has Mr. Lasch ever talked with the mother of a
black nine-year-old accused of stealing a dollar from
a white playmate?
Who was whisked off to Juvy and there
incarcerated for six weeks pending a hearing?
Whose
�page 3
frantic mother would gladly have bailed him out, engaged counsel, sought witnesses, all to no avail?
And what of custody cases?
Shouldn't the child
have the right to decide which parent he prefers to live
with?
Most enlightened judges routinely consult the
child in such disputes.
The centerpiece of Mr. Lasch's article is the case
of Wisconsin v. Yoder in which the Supreme Court ruled
in favor of three Amish families, allowing them to keep
their children out of high school in defiance of a state
law compelling attendance.
Justice William 0. Douglas
dissented -- nobody had asked the children if they
shared their parents' views.
He said that the children
should have been consulted and that their judgment should
count more than that of their parents.
If children were
"harnessed to the Amish way of life," their lives were
likely to be "stunted and deformed."
Mr. Lasch observes that "According to Clinton, this
'groundbreaking view of the case' lays down principles
that ought to guide family policy.
Instead of assuming
that parents know best, she argues, we should let child-
�page 4
ren speak for themselves.
We should recognize their
competence to make their own decisions.
We should
treat them as rights-bearing individuals ••• "
Lasch disagrees:
Mr.
"A careful reading of Clinton's
argument shows that she objects to the family much
more than she objects to the state ••• her writings
leave the unmistakable impression that it is the
family that holds children back, the state that sets
them free."
But I couldn't agree more with Hillary
Clinton's stand on Justice Douglas's dissent.
In fact this passage of Mr. Lasch's article
recalled an ancient resentment against my own parents,
who were not of the Amish faith -- far from it;
they
were ultraconservative members of the Church of England.
Home was a large, well staffed country house in the
Cotswolds, a far cry from
Amish.
th~
austere dwellings of the
It was the dream of my childhood to go to school
-- I should have liked to go to a university when I grew
up, but in order to qualify one had to have a proper
education.
My mother was adamant; she didn't approve
of girls going to school (our only brother went to Eton)
so the six of us were kept at home under the iurisdiction

of a series of inept governesses, from whom we learned
next to nothing.
Not wishing to be 'harnessed to the Cotswold way
of life" as Justice Douglas might have put it had he
been asked to rule on the matter, at age 12 I started
a Running Away Account in our family bank, and so
eventually escaped.
We are not told what became of the
hapless Amish children.
Mr. Lasch endorses the idea of healthy neighborhoods where people look out for each other, where the
corner grocer scolds a child for running out into the
street -- implying that Ms. Clinton frowns on such
neighborly intervention, would oppose the grocer's right
to rescue a child from the onrushing traffic; she would
"transfer control of children from the local community
to state-devised institutions designed specifically for
the purpose."
That's a truly wild leap of the Laschian
imagination, supported nowhere in the articles and
speeches of Hillary Clinton on which his essay is based;
nor does it reflect the thinking of the Children's
Defense Fund of which she was national chairman for
�page 6
many years.
In sum, "Hillary Clinton, Child Saver" appears
to be essentially a
longe~
rendition of the Bush campaign
television sound bites, replete with their distortions
of Clinton's stated position on children's rights.

Dear Governor Engler:
I greatly appreciate having your recommendations for
reforming our nation's health care system. The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation's recent forum in Michigan demonstrated that
Michigan is a real example of the health care challenges we face
across the country.
As you know, the Task Force is in the throes of preparing
options for the President to consider. Your letter and the
recommendations that you put forward will be considered as that
process goes forward. The President has indicated that the need
for State flexibility will not be ignored in the national plan.
The Governors have a very important role in this process and
this administration welcomes the important advice that you and
your fellow governors are in a position to provide.
Again, thank you for your kind letter.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
LANSING
JOHN ENGLER
GOVERNOR
March 19, 1993
Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
First Lady
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
By way of this letter, I welcome you to the great State of Michigan and offer
my best wishes for success as you seek insight into the problems and possibilities
for reform of our nation's health-care system. I believe you will find that
Michigan is a microcosm of the health-care challenges we confront across the
country. I regret that I am unable to attend your hearing, and I thank you for
this opportunity to convey my personal observations and recommendations for
reform.
The problems confronting health care are obvious: Costs are too high, access
is too limited, and performance is poor. The cost of health care is now the number
one budget concern of families, businesses, and government at all levels.
Michigan's largest employer, the automobile industry, spends over $1,000 per car
on employee health care -- more than it does for steel. One quarter of our state
general revenues is spent on health care, and double-digit inflation has been the
norm for nearly 30 years.
Coverage for Michigan's citizens compares favorably with the nation as a
.
whole. Only 9% of our citizens are uninsured, while up to 18% of all . Aunericans
are without coverage. Michigan's Medicaid program is also the most generous
among the United States, offering coverage for virtually every optional service
permitted by the federal government. Just recently, I proposed to further expand
coverage for over 80,000 poor and near-poor children through my "Healthy Kids"
initiative. Unfortunately, Michigan still has hundreds of thousands of citizens
who lack even the most basic coverage.
Perhaps the greatest challenge we face is to improve performance.
Michigan's infant mortality rate, while improving, is still unacceptably high,
with rates in the inner city of Detroit exceeding those of many third world
countries. Even though we have provided free, Michigan-made DTP vaccines to
all of our children for nearly 40 years, immunization rates for young children,
ages 0-2 years, in some areas are still only 30%. Worst of all, Michigan ranks
"dead last" among states in excess deaths due to chronic disease.
At"Cl'C~EO
PAP£R

March 19, 1993

For these reasons and more, I believe it is time for refomi. I further believe
that providing universal access for all citizens is not only a moral imperative, but
a necessary pre-condition to controlling costs.
The Michigan Leaders' Health Care Group, which I co-chair with Harold
Poling, CEO of Ford Motor Corporation, and which consists of a partnership of
business, labor, government, and health-care providers, has adopted a series of
principles for national reform that I recommend to you as the policy compass for
your deliberations. These principles have been provided to the Task Force under
separate cover. In addition, I have endorsed the December 15, 1992, statement
produced by the National Governors' Association, as well as several other
business and governmental organizations, that defines the respective roles of
states and the federal government.
I recommend support for the reform framework known as "managed
competition" as it has been articulated by Alain Enthoven and the so-called
Jackson Hole Group. This plan calls for universal coverage with a federally
established standard benefit package that is community rated and provided
primarily through employers. Health care would be provided by vertically
integrated provider organizations, similar to the most advanced HMOs, that are
accountable for delivering all of the benefits defined by the standard package
under one roof. Payments for services would be "bundled" or capitated, and
providers would share risk. The purchasing power of multiple employers would
be consolidated into "purchasing cooperatives," thereby leveling the playing field
between provider and payer, and eliminating the third-party middle man. A
unique and cost-saving feature of the plan is its potential to merge health coverage
currently provided through multiple insurance sources, including auto, health,
and workers' compensation, into one plan.
I understand that the Task Force is advocating "managed competition";
however, reports indicate that a greater omphaais is being placed on
"management" than on "competition." Managed competition must nQt be reduced
to a buzzword. True managed competition does nQt entail global budgets, limits
on capital investments in technology, or price controls because it restructures the
fundamental relationship between payers and providers of health care to
eliminate the need for such heavy-handed governmental regulation.
Paying a single price for a defined set of benefits on a per-person basis and
putting providers at risk for excess costs removes incentives to overuse services by
transforming profit centers into cost centers. Amassing the purchasing power of
multiple small employers and individuals will equalize the relationship between
historically powerful providers and weak purchasers. One result of this new
relationship will likely be a consolidation of the health-care insurance industry
and a reduction in administrative overhead costs that currently approach 25%.
Community rating will prevent the "cream skimming" and risk avoidance that
currently plagues the health-insurance industry.

I am especially concerned that the Task Force may be considering price
controls in its desire for short-term cost containment. As you know, total healthcare costs are the product of price and volume. Price controls will not contain
costs unless concurrent controls over service volume, i.e., rationing, is instituted.
I would strongly recommend against any efforts to ration care because it will
result in pitting one part of society against another. Neither price fixing nor
service rationing are necessary if the Task Force sticks to the basic tenets of
managed competition.
There are two key federal law changes that are necessary to make managed
competition work: First, it is necessary to permit waivers of the federal ERISA
pre-emption law for state plans so that all employers may be brought into a
purchasing cooperative, and, second, it will be necessary to amend federal antitrust laws to permit the vertical integration of physician- and hospital-based
services into accountable health plans. I strongly recommend these essential
changes in federal law.
Finally, as a governor, I am concerned that all states be granted the tools
and flexibility to serve as true "laboratories of democracy" in the reform effort.
Specifically, I encourage you to remain modest in setting a standard benefit
package so that states may supplement according to their needs; I discourage any
recommendation to cap entitlement programs like Medicaid because such action
would result in unacceptable cost shifts to the private sector; and I support
providing states with the flexibility to incorporate Medicare into comprehensive
health plans.
I wish to draw your particular attention to the impact that Medicaid reform
may have on state mental health systems like Michigan's, which utilize
community-based waivers to provide personal care services to thousands of
mentally ill and developmentally disabled persons. Over $400 million worth of
care is provided to mentally ill and developmentally disabled persons under the
current Medicaid program in .Michigan, and I urge that this care n2t be
disrupted by changes in Medicaid.
·
Thank you for this opportunity to express my views to you and the Task Force
on this most important matter. I look forward to your May 4 recommendations
and the ensuing debate over national health care reform.

Dear Jane:
Thank you for writing ·and sharing your insight and views on
psychotherapy for our consideration in health care refonn. The
members of the Task Force are anxious to hear from knowledgeable
and concerned people like you -- people with firsthand experience or
particular expertise in the health care field. I am sending a copy of
your letter along to the appropriate working group.
The President is committed to reforming our nation's health
care system -- controlling runaway costs and providing security to
every American family. It won't be easy and it won't happen
overnight, but we can bring costs under control while maintaining
quality medical care and preserving the choice so important to us all.
Thank you again for your suggestions and especially for your
continuing personal support. Best regards to Ed.

Dear Hillary:
I was delighted to read, the other day, that you had put in a
good word for mental health in the health dispensation. ~f I may
say so, you made exactly the points that need making.
I don't think it is fully realized how often good psychotherapy,
at relatively small cost, heads·off far greater costs of hospitalization, drug dependency, illegitimacy, incarceration, medical expenses,
and emotional dysfunction. I have one patient, for instance, who gets
along well enough when she and I stay in close touch but who often has
to go into hospital if I am out of town. She is not unusual.
\ve had a shock recently when our clinic's l'v1edicaid funding was
abruptly terminated due to its not being a "free-standing" mental
health clinic. This is penney~wise and pound foolish, as such clinics
are top-heavy with administrative staff and paperwork. This means
only a small portion of the fee goes to the therapist, reducing the
staff of therapists, primarily, to students and beginning therapists
with high turn-over rate. I can testify on the basis of practical
experience that a clinic like ours -- a group of private practitioners
can offer higher quality service for considerably less cost than
bureaucratic clinics which are overwhelmed by administrative costs
and busy-work. 'rhe ;vredicaid regulations need modifying.
I read, the other day, a statement by Ira Magaziner to the effect
that the number of therapy sessions may be limited. I know savings
must be sought. But this idea ought to be examined carefully, lest
it prove to be a false economy. Many of my patients suffer from severe
emotional and psychic disabilities, and progress with them is usually
slow. But I do often see dysfunctional people becoming functional.
This process takes time and it is essential that the therapeutic space
be protected. Interruptions due to arbitrary ceilings on the number
of therapy ~essions can be experienced as a trauma that repeats the
earlier trauma that originally led to the emotional illness.
If you would like to visit our clinic on Capitol Hill, we would truly
welcome the opportunity to talk to you and elaborate on these issues.
?d and I follow the brilliant opening act of the ~linton years with
interest and pride. 1e hope to see you all one of these days.

Dear Bernadette:
I was deeply touched by your letter about Lauren and the
struggles, difficulties and challenges you continue to face in your
day-to-day living, in addition to the necessary surgical procedures
and treatment for her. She must be a wonderful, courageous little
girl and is fortunate indeed to have such a loving, caring family to
nurture and support her. I certainly commend you for your foresight
and diligent efforts in educating the other children at her kindergarten
before Lauren's enrollment. This, obviously, made a tremendous
difference in their understanding and acceptance of her condition and
helped them know her as another child with the same feelings, needs,
hurts, joys that they experience.
I have forwarded a copy of your letter and the enclosures to
the Task Force to include your experiences with Lauren and your
suggestions regarding health insurance coverage.
I appreciate your invitation for Chelsea and me to attend the
Juniors' annual fashion show on November 13, 1993. This request is
being directed to my scheduler for consideration as we determine my
agenda for the fall.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Hillary:
Our daughter Lauren was born 5/31/87 with a hemangioma (vascular
lesion) which has grown since birth to deform her face, please
see enclosed articles.
I am writing to you as a mom, who has struggled for the past 5
years to keep my daughter alive (her hemangioma has bled a lot,
requiring many directed donor blood transfusions).
My husband
and I have dealt with stranger's stares and rude comments as well
as the medical issues, and the difficulties with insurance
coverage.
Please be aware, as you are reviewing national insurance issues,
that comprehensive care health insurance coverage for children
born with a congenital birth defect, such as a craniofacial
anomaly,
is very crucial to families who must deal with these
issues for years.
Health insurance coverage should not only
include major medical; but comprehensive
care required by
children with craniofacial anomalies such as:
orthodontal,
dental, opthomology, speech,
physical therapy, occupational
therapy,
psychologic/developmental
therapy,
prescriptions
including unlabeled uses (i.e. Interferon alfa-2a for serious and
life threatening hemangiomas), and respite care (which we were
denied because of technicalities).
We also need to eliminate all pre-existing condition exclusions
of congenital and acquired facial disfigurements. We are not all
wrapped in pretty packages, yet society judges all of us on
appearance.
It is sad that a child with a facial disfigurement feel pain and
isolation for what they look like on the outside and not for what
they are on the inside. My daughter is still young, but I see the
stares and hear the comments and it really hurts. As a mother I
keep it in, so she continues to have a high self-esteem.
It is
easier for her to accept, since she has not known any othe~ way
of life; but as a parent you want to protect your child.
�Education is the key to understanding and thus acceptance.
We
have learned to understand and accept the handicapped, why not
the facially disfigured?
Ca~ you help Lauren and
all the other children like her?
you please also help me educate society?
Would
Because of Lauren, Twentieth Century Juniors Foundation of Park
Ridge has chosen AboutFace (a support and information network for
those who are facially disfigured), as their major recipient this
year.
Juniors' annual fashion show is November 13, 1993.
If
your schedule permits I would like to personally invite you and
Chelsea, so that Lauren and I would have an opportunity to meet
both of you.

Kids learn lesson
· before class starts
Those who thought they were being kind
quietly advised Bernadette Mandel that, you
know, it is possible to educate a child like
Lauren at home, behind closed doors, hidden
away, where no one has to see her, where
she does not have to be seen by anyone.
ihe girl, now 5, has a pronounced facial
disfigurement-a large, discolored growth on
her upper lip accompanied by smaller
growths on her left cheek and eyelid.
Strangers tend to stare at her in disbelief and
dread. Adults have ~ped and fled at the
sight, her mother satd. Children have taunted
·
and avoided her.
But it is only a birthmark, a surface.
condition. Underneath it, Lauren Mandel is
just a regular kid of
,...--..,....-------, normal intelligence
who loves to swim,
color and draw, go
down the slide at the
park, eat macaroni and
cheese and watch
"DuckTales" on TV.
"I wasn't going to
hide hedn a closet,"
said Bernadette .
Mandel. "For her sake
and everyone else's."
Late last winter when
Mandel went to regiLauren Mandel
ster Lauren for fall
"
kindergarten at Washington School in Park Ridge, she took her
concerns to Principal Larry Csajaghy. "I
knew l couldn't bring her mto the classroom
on the first day without saying anything,"
Mandel said. "Everyone's mouth would fall
open."
Lauren calls her birthmark-a
hemangioma that doctors say will be gone by
the time she is an adult-"my lip." Her
mother said she has become extremely aware
of how others react to it. "When people
smile at her and say, 'Howya doin'?' she
smiles at me and says, 'Mommy, they like
my lip!'" said Mandel. "When they tum

Getting to know the real Lauren Mandel
By DORIS FOLKL
ITAFFWRITER
'
Lauren is
just a little
girl who
·likes to
play and
loves hugs.
'
Five-year-old Lauren Mandel, who
lives on South Western Street, has a
problem meeting people for the first
time.
Her mother explains it in
straightforward, simple words.
uWhen Lauren meets someone Cor
the first time, if they smile at her,
she whispers to me, 'Mom, I think
they like my lip,' " said Bernie
Mandel In a quiet, knowing mother's
voice.
·
"But If they stare at her and back
away suddenly, or gasp and avert
their eyes, abe moves closer to me
and says, 'Oh Mom, they don't like
myllp.'u
Life has never been simple for
Lauren and her family. Born with .a
significant birthmark, a hemangioma
that affecta her lips, her len eye and
a portion of her len skull, Lauren
knows that meeting a strange child
on her front sidewalk can be a
devastating emotional experience.
Meeting an unthlnklng adult on a
shopping trip with her mother can
be a nightmare.
On Aug. 24, when she begins
kindergarten classes at Washington
'
School, Lauren will meet 438
children and a faculty of teachers for
the first time, and, thanks to her
parents, preparations to make her
first day a success have already
begun.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mandel have had
some wonderful ideas,'' said
Washington Principal L.arry
CsaJaghy. "Mrs. Mandel provlde4 us
with a lot of Information about
hemangioma, and explained how
important It is for Lauren that a first
reaction to her be positive. She has
given us pictures of Lauren, so the
children will know ahead of time
what she looka like. If they have a
tendency to stare, it can be at the
picture, not Lauren."
CsaJaghy has formed a small
committee, made up of himself, the
district superintendent, the school
nurse and the school social worker.
This week, special teams will vlsii
classrooms at Washington, sharing
Lauran and her
mother Bemla

information about Lauren, and a
letter will be sent home to parents.

Bernie Mandel
has worked with
Washington
School Principal
Lany Csajaghy
and teachers to
prepare Lauran's
schoolmates to
welcome her
when school
begins In Auiust-.
The letter has been timed to reach
parents at the same time this article
and pictures of Lauren appear In the
Advocate.
Similarities
"We'll be telling children how
everybody Is the same on the
Inside,'' CsaJaghy sald. ''We'll be
talking about how Lauren Is the
same as you and me, and how they
should try to react positively to her
outside appearance and to the
hemangioma."
Homeroom teachers at
Washington will follow up on the
!nltlal effort, Csl\laghy said, In case
children need to talk about more
about Lauren and their reactions to
her.
"We're going to talk about
Lauren's favorite color, her favorite
book and the dog she plays with at
home,''CsaJaghy said. "We're going
to do whatever it takes to make her
feel welcome."
Bernie Mandel remembers vividly
the day Lauren was born. At home,
seated at a picnic table on her
screened-in back porch, while
Lauren and her brother, two-year-old
Joe, blow bubbles, she offers the

"I decided right afier she
was born that I would ·do
everything I could so that
she would have a normal life

She related stories of long

"She's been at Triton Col·

Center for the past couple
years, and it's be,n very successful," said Mandel.
She described how a preschool teacher handed out
M&Ms to Lauren's classmates on the first day and
explained how things may
look different on the outside
but are the same underneath.
"One boy asked If Lauren

some other questions,n Mandel said. ''Then the children
got up and played, and I was
sent away.
"A hemangioma Is really a
vascular birthmark," Mandel
explained. "Gorbachev has
one on his head, and I see a
lot or children In Park Ridge·
who have them on their arms
and legs."
"Usually, It's a self·
limiting lesion that goes
away naturally by the age or
three to five," Mandel said.
"But In Lauren's case, the
birthmark Is slgntflcant. The

Aboutface U.S.A.
Our mission is to provide support to people
with facial disfigurement. Families and caregivers are included in this program. Emotional
support is provided for all types of facial disfigurement whether congenital (birth defects}
or acquired through accidents or disease.
Those we serve range in age from birth to
senior citizens. An extensive database links
them for networking opportunities and support.
Various chapters and support groups across
the nation provide opportunities for personal
contact and meetings. By sharing information
and mutual support, AboutFace helps individuals and families to be well-informed,
assertive, and confident in their ability to contribute to society.
Although the treatment of facial disfigurement is often long and extensive, support is
available on a continuing basis. Through
AboutFace, we learn, grow, and adapt successfully to society.
Causes and frequency of
facial disfigurement
Over 6000 infants are born in the U.S. each
year with a birth defect affecting the face.
One of the most common is cleft lip and
palate. Clefts occur in about one in every 700
births. Other rare syndromes may involve the
skull, eyes, and face. Even with these complex
conditions, people can look forward to leading successful and fulfilling lives.
Parents who have an infant with a facial disfigurement are often overwhelmed with feelings of shock, guilt, sadness, and anger.
Dealing with other family members can sometimes present a challenge at a time when support is needed. AboutFace provides volunteers
offering hope and encouragement through
these early difficult days.
Where we came from and
where we're going:
Birth
Facial disfigurement can happen to anyone
at any time as a result of trauma, burns, and a
variety of diseases. Disfigurement affects
about 350,000 Americans each year. In these
cases, individuals need to learn to adjust to an
appearance much different from the one to
which they are accustomed. AboutFace can
put you in touch with someone who truly
understands and can make a difference in a
time of despair and isolation.
AboutFace began in 1985 in Toronto,
Canada. Already, this organization has helped
thousands of individuals and families all over
the world. AboutFace U.S.A. began in 1991
and is a division of AboutFace International.
AboutFace is recognized by the Cleft Palate
Foundation of the American Cleft PalateCraniofacial Association as the leading support
organization for parents and patients affected
by facial disfigurement.
The Aboutface
Program provides:
• a toll-free number directly to our office
• chapters and support groups in many
areas of the country.
• school programs to teach children how to
be more accepting
of those who look
different.
• leadership training
for new and established chapters.
• training programs,
conferences, and
workshops for families, professionals,
and the general
public.
• a bimonthly
newsletter.

AboutFace is not organized with the intention of providing medical information, advice, or referrals.
