Course Speakers: Dr. Martin Persson and Gareth Davies

This is course is open to all with registration.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals include educational attainment and mental health as essential variables. Simultaneously, research indicates that individuals with cleft are more at risk of adverse educational attainment and/or poor mental health outcomes. These factors are also exacerbated depending on the living situation. This session will highlight the psychosocial challenges for individuals and families with cleft in a global context. Moreover, a strategy for how to provide support via different modalities in healthcare and community settings will be introduced.
