Family Workshops

Designed for youngsters with severe food allergy, aged 11 to 18 and their parents, young people have their workshop in one room whilst the parents are in a totally separate room, however the 2 groups follow similar agendas and cover the same topics. The Family workshop is for families where the youngster has made the transition to secondary school. The aim of the workshops is to help the handing over of allergy management and responsibility to the allergic young person in a time and way that suits the whole family.
