Asthma-Friendly Schools Initiative

The Asthma-Friendly Schools Initiative is a program that helps schools create safe environments for students with asthma. It promotes policies and practices such as proper medication management, reducing asthma triggers like dust and smoke, and training staff to assist students during asthma episodes. The goal is for students with asthma to participate fully in school activities without fear or health risks, ensuring their well-being, safety, and academic success. This initiative encourages collaboration among school health teams, families, and healthcare providers to support students with asthma effectively.
