In-person workshops

1. Speakers

We have access to a number of trained speakers who provide an overview presentation in schools, childcare centres, and camps. The presentation covers need-to-know facts on how to manage and respond to an anaphylactic emergency. Please note that a fee is required for this service.

Please contact a speaker from the Food Allergy Canada Speakers List for your area and intended audience.

2. Program for facilitators (for groups only)

Our half-day workshop teaches others how to educate staff about anaphylaxis management in school and childcare settings. The program is geared to participants employed in these environments (e.g., occupational health and safety personnel, principals, childcare centre supervisors) and healthcare professionals (e.g., nurses, certified asthma educators, respiratory therapists, pharmacists) who offer educational services within their local communities.

Through interactive activities including role-play situations, auto-injector demonstrations, and case study discussions, participants learn how to more effectively teach people how to manage anaphylaxis. Participants receive a standard PowerPoint presentation, auto-injector training devices, and educational materials.
