Building Momentum for Cleft Psychosocial Care: Bolivia and the UK
Will my child be supported and accepted in our family? At school? In the community?
Beyond the immediate medical concerns of feeding and securing a safe and effective surgery, parents with a cleft-affected child worry about the long-term social, emotional and psychological implications of the condition. While progress has been made in some High-Income Countries (HICs), cleft psychosocial support isn’t often accessible in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
This podcast explores the role of psychosocial support within a Comprehensive Cleft Care approach. We speak with Dr. Nicola Stock, who highlights learning from the UK experience, and draw from Julieta Villca Guzman’s insights about integrating cleft psychosocial support in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
