Asthma Friendly Schools Program

The aim of the Asthma Friendly Schools program is to improve the quality of life, health outcomes and well being for school children with asthma. This achieved by supporting the whole school community in understanding and managing asthma.  Benefits for schools that have become Asthma Friendly include: a reduction in student absenteeism due to asthma, less asthma emergencies, increased student participation in sports, camps and excursions, and an increase in the number of students having a written Asthma Action Plan, which has been shown to lead to better health outcomes for people with asthma. Is your school Asthma Friendly?  Visit our website to find out!
