Comment from previous sessions
"I attended a Parent Workshop which was excellent. It's the first time I've spoken to other people who really understand. I'm so grateful to the Campaign for organising it".
The Anaphylaxis Campaign 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, run by The Anaphylaxis Campaign, is for families where the youngster has made the transition to secondary school and will focus on risk assessment to facilitate the handing over of allergy management and responsibility to the allergic young person in a time and way that suits the whole family.

Comments from previous sessions:
“Really great session, came away feeling very positive and with a son who didn’t feel so alone in terms of his allergy”
– Mum to an 11 year old.
“I found it good to talk to people in the same situations as me, this has helped me to be more open about my allergy so I can talk to my friends about it without
being embarrassed”

“The content was fantastic and the trainer was excellent at leading the workshop and ensuring that we all took something from the afternoon. The trainer has certainly galvanised my two kids from their apathy and it seems she managed to get across the importance of being aware of the risks too without scaring them half to death”.
"My son attended one of the youth training seminars and I cannot recommend it enough – as he had a reaction at a party last month and knew exactly what to do and was able to administer his EpiPen (adrenaline injector) himself. Can you pass on my heartfelt thanks to all those involved in organising and running the training? Thank you, thank you”.
