August webinar: When nature cross-reacts: A closer look at pollen food allergy syndrome – diagnosis, management, and treatment
August 20 @ 12-1pm EDT
Register now to hear from Dr. Anne Ellis and get a better understanding of the clinical features of PFAS and how to differentiate PFAS from IgE-mediated food allergy, identify common food and pollen cross-reactivity patterns, learn more about reactions and their severity, and explore management strategies and treatment, including the role of antihistamines.
September webinar: Know it. Treat it.: Taking control of anaphylaxis
September 24 @ 12-1pm EDT
When a severe allergic reaction happens, you need to act promptly. But knowing what to look for — and how to respond — can make all the difference. Join us for an interactive session with Dr. Wade Watson who will use a scenario-based approach to help you build your skills and confidence in identifying and treating anaphylaxis.
We’ll break down the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, clarify when and why to use epinephrine instead of antihistamines like Benadryl®, and give you the tools to act quickly and confidently. You will also be presented with different scenarios to test your knowledge.
Small group webinar next session is September 28th (August session is full!)
Attend a free 90-minute interactive webinar led by a trained parent mentor to get your questions answered while connecting with others. You’ll learn fundamental information about daily management and living confidently with food allergy.
These sessions are geared towards parents of children who have been recently diagnosed with food allergy. It’s also a great session for others who are interested in this topic or would like a refresher. Following the session, you’ll be able to answer:
- What is food allergy
- How to prevent a reaction
- What is anaphylaxis, including signs and symptoms
- What to do in case of a reaction
Sessions are limited to 6 attendees, so register now to save your spot. Please note, our August 12th session is already at capacity. Our next session is Sunday, September 28th.
Connect with a support group
A support group provides a positive and caring environment for you to get help in dealing with the day-to-day stress of managing food allergy and risk of anaphylaxis.
Plus, it’s a great way to keep updated on any new developments in the food allergy community and exchange tips for navigating throughout the year.
