Anaphylaxis Canada recently launched a new video series to help teens effectively manage their food allergies.
“Communicating directly to teens about managing risks and encouraging them to take responsibility for their allergies can help reduce instances of allergic reactions and prepare them for adulthood,” said Kyle Dine, Program Coordinator at Anaphylaxis Canada.
Research indicates that more than 2 million Canadians are affected by food allergy. The videos, created by and for teens, depicts five real-life scenarios and offers tips on coping with these challenges and staying safe.
The Teen Video Series is the latest initiative in Anaphylaxis Canada’s “Why Risk It?” allergy awareness program targeted at pre-teens, teenagers and young adults.
