Abstract
There is a lack of evidence-based psychological interventions and limited support resources to address the psychosocial difficulties experienced by young people with disfigurement (visible difference) resulting from traumatic injury, congenital or skin conditions and surgical or medical treatments. We have therefore developed an innovative and interactive seven-week, online support programme called YP-Face It that requires minimal supervision from health professionals (HP). YP- Face It addresses key concerns of YP with visible difference including low self- esteem, depression, social and appearance-related anxiety. It provides self- management skills via social skills training and CBT techniques. The
development process of designing YP Face It and an outline of the programme will be discussed.
