Asthma Canada is proud to partner with @opheacanad Asthma Canada is proud to partner with @opheacanada on Creating Asthma Friendly Environments, a collection of free educational resources designed to help schools create safe and supportive environments for children and youth with asthma. The resources include tools and guidance for teachers and school staff, including an e-learning module covering asthma triggers, symptoms, medications, recognizing worsening asthma and how to support students with asthma at school. Creating an asthma-friendly environment can help children with asthma stay active, participate fully in school and develop the skills they need to manage their asthma with confidence. With the school year underway, it’s a great time for teachers and school staff to refresh their asthma knowledge and make sure they’re prepared to support students who may need help.
