Naming that with care reduces isolation and helps those who are struggling to feel seen.Who It’s ForThis tour exists for everyone who was born with cleft, and every parent and family raising a child born with cleft. It is also a meaningful experience for healthcare providers, care teams, and anyone whose life has been touched by cleft. It is a valuable contribution to the wider community through its education about how cleft impacts the lived experience of those born with one and those who love them, challenging the narrative that cleft is a superficial condition.About the artist:Katie Manning is an artist, trauma-informed coach, mother to a daughter born with bilateral cleft, and married to a man born with unilateral cleft.
