Advocating for your child’s respiratory health

LHI’s Asthma Management Program provides FREE workshops for Parents and Caregivers in Spanish to help families with young children manage their children’s asthma-related symptoms.

Program participants learn about the environmental factors that can cause or worsen Asthma symptoms, and how to eliminate them or reduce their impact.

After completing the workshop families will be able to:

Understand the signs and symptoms of asthma
Identify and avoid triggers
Develop a customized asthma management plan
Properly administer asthma-related medications

Free food and childcare are provided at each workshop and LHI provides participants with free follow-up support to ensure they are applying workshop lessons at home.
