Anaphylaxis in the Community: What Parents and Others Need to Know

From Food Allergy Canada:

We are pleased to announce our latest online learning tool, Anaphylaxis in the Community: What Parents and Others Need to Know available at allergyaware.ca. Developed with Leap Learning Technologies Inc. and in collaboration with the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, this free, medically-reviewed resource is designed for people with potentially life-threatening allergies and those who care for them. The launch of this interactive course, offered in English and French is timed with the celebration of Food Allergy Awareness Month (May 2016). Further details are included in our press release and "Are you Prepared?" flyer.

We encourage you to visit allergyaware.ca and share this information with others who are interested in food allergy and anaphylaxis.
