🎒 Starting School & Allergies - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Karen Murphy
🎒 Starting School & Allergies
In this video, you can discover the added emotional and practical challenges families face when a child with allergies starts school. This video explores the hidden worries beyond drop-off and friendships — from managing food-related risks to trusting others to notice and respond to allergic reactions. This video can help families understand how building allergy awareness, practising responses through roleplay, and working collaboratively with schools can support confidence, safety, and inclusion during this important transition.
