Self-Empowerment Toolkit
A skin, hair or nail condition impacts more than just a person’s skin: it impacts how you see yourself, how the world sees you, your employment opportunities, your social life, your romantic relationships and how you spend your time. To equip our community members and their loved ones with the skills to flourish, CSPA developed the Self-Empowerment Toolkit, a series of resources designed to support the ins and outs of life with a skin, hair or nail condition.
