Webinar Anaphylaxis-early-child

In this discussion, we’ll focus on “Navigating the Aftermath of Anaphylaxis.” The goal is to share insights on anaphylaxis and its potential impact post-reaction on the mental and emotional well-being of people with food allergies and their families by presenting CFAAR research and the lived experience of those impacted by FA. Viewers will hear from a young adult who has experienced anaphylaxis many times, a parent whose child has had numerous anaphylactic reactions, and a clinical psychologist who helps families find their way through the mental and emotional aftermath of a reaction and conducts research on the psychosocial impact of living with a FA.
