Description

Angel Faces provides healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls with burn/trauma injuries to achieve their optimum potential and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families and their communities. During the week-long retreat, girls participate in intensive group sessions that include art, journaling and verbal expression. They learn positive self-image through practice sessions on how to handle stares, teasing and unwanted questions. Girls also participate in goal setting exercises, daily yoga sessions, swimming, and hiking; experience therapeutic massages and facials; and have private consultations with a clinical corrective cosmetic professional on the application of corrective cosmetics for their specific needs. Girls leave the retreat with skills and tools to create the life they want and to overcome the challenges of living with their burn/trauma injury.
