Why this program is important
Food allergy affects over 600,000 Canadian children, equivalent to 3 children in a classroom of 30.
With a medical condition connected to food, preventing reactions and staying safe is a shared responsibility. Yet, research shows kids with food allergy face bullying and social exclusion solely because of their medical condition, and that there are substantial gaps in the understanding and management of food allergy.
Through the All about food allergy program, teachers can play a pivotal role in significantly closing these gaps and empowering the next generation.
