Asthma School Advocate

Mission

To improve the quality of life for children with asthma by providing Asthma School Advocates the necessary training and resources to promote asthma awareness and management in schools.

Why is an Asthma School Advocate Needed?

Many children, parents, and school personnel are not aware of asthma resources and programs that assist children in their self-management of asthma. Asthma School Advocates are needed to promote these resources and programs in schools, as well as to be a voice with those students with asthma.

What is the Asthma School Advocate Resource Packet?

A resource for an Advocate to use in increasing asthma awareness and management in schools.
