Cleft Connect Chat is a monthly virtual gathering for teens who were born with cleft conditions. With representation from at least four countries, they share their experiences and see how they can support Operation Smile's patients, too.
With support from adult facilitators (who were also born with a cleft), the group also takes part in games and exercises that help to boost their communication skills and confidence. Guest speakers often join the chat to share their wisdom and answer questions.
You need to register once for the whole semester and the Zoom link stays the same!
Mark your calendars! 2024 dates are: Jan. 21, Feb. 18, March 3 and 24, April 14, May 5 and June 2
Each chat runs from 8-9 p.m. ET
