Each webinar video is approximately one-hour long. I recommend picking out a few topics and watching some of these during the winter break. There is a lot of great information in these videos for parents, grandparents, teachers, school nurses, and support group leaders.
Thank you to everyone who helped pass this. As a teacher with allergies, I had to alter my profession due to a lack of protections in schools. I am so grateful.
