Register now for the WAEH Webinar about Living with Facial Eye Disfigurement in 2024 on the 26th September 2024! With Dr Zali O’Dea, Founding Director and Principal Counsellor/Educator of Karibu Anawim as our presenter!
In this introductory session Dr O’Dea explores the lived experience of people living with facial eye disfigurement (FED) through personal vignettes, media representations and statistics. People living with FED are often disregarded as the disfigurement is viewed as ‘slight’. The psychosocial and psychological ramifications living with FED are grossly discounted and underestimated. Zali welcomes you to participate as she takes you on a journey of a patient’s life outside the hospital setting.
Dr Zali O’Dea is the Founding Director and Principal Counsellor/Educator of Karibu Anawim meaning “Welcome to The Way of Victory”. Karibu Anawim trains, equips and nurtures individuals as well as their family members living with facial disfigurement, offering consultancy and professional development to professionals. Zali herself is a survivor of a car accident as a newborn and lives with third nerve palsy.
Zali thrives on helping people realise their full potential, knowing very well the limitations society places on people living with facial disfigurement. And enjoys assisting people find ‘The Way of Victory’ in their own lives.
