Teen Session at Upcoming Conference

Anaphylaxis Canada’s Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) will be holding a half-day afternoon session for youth with food allergies. This interactive session will be filled with open discussions and teen presentations on key topics:

University/High School
Dealing with Bullying, Anxiety and Exclusion
Deating/New Friends
Partying
Ask the Allergist

The workshop is open to all youth with food allergies between the ages of 13-21 years. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends, share experiences, and learn how others have managed their allergies in different situations.

This session will be led by

Kyle Dine, Youth Program Coordinator, and will focus on the issues faced by youth and the risk management strategies available to them. Prizes will be given away throughout the session as part of afternoon competitions including:

· Food Allergy Trivia

· Allergy Spelling Bee

· How would you react?
