Members of our Youth Advisory Panel are hard at work to plan another great Youth Session at this year’s Anaphylaxis Community Conference!
LAST YEAR, participants gathered in Toronto, Ontario to discuss their experiences and strategies for:
- managing allergies in high school, university, and college
- copying with anxiety, exclusion, and bullies
- meeting new friends, dating, and partying safely with allergies
- and more!

THIS YEAR, the Community Conference will take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Saturday April 21, 2012. Youth participants (13-21 yrs. old) will be invited to attend the main conference program in the morning, before breaking off for the Youth Session in the afternoon. Participants will connect with other teens and young adults, share their own experiences and perspectives, and learn how to live safely with allergies. Interactive activities will keep things lively!
More details will be available soon! In the meantime, save the date, tell your friends, and visit Anaphylaxis Canada’s website for more information.
