BREATHE LA ASTHMA LUNG POWER

BREATHE LA programs educate and empower children.

Lung Power is a hands-on, interactive, facilitator-led Children’s Asthma Education program. Developed by Registered Respiratory Therapists,
Lung Power has been approved by local physicians as an effective asthma management program.

For children and their families in afterschool and daycamp settings,
BREATHE LA Lung Power is an asthma awareness program that allows children, caregivers and family members to understand asthma.

Through fun exercises and family-friendly ‘homework' activities, the program empowers children and families to take charge of asthma as the best way to control it.

Lung Power encourages children to REST:

• R ecognize your warning signs
• E xpress your symptoms and feelings to an adult
• S tay calm and don't panic
• T ake correct medications

Lung Power Asthma Control Program includes the family and caregivers while empowering children to understand and ask for help to control their asthma. Lung Power is provided to middle school students in school break day camps in Los Angeles County.

Children in Los Angeles County are experiencing epidemic levels of asthma. Air quality and climate contribute to asthma and can trigger asthma attacks.

BREATHE LA Lung Power Asthma Control Program makes a difference, even for young children with asthma like this recent Lung Power Asthma Camper.

Best implemented in four or five day consecutive sessions, 1&1/2 hour long to students in grades 3-6, and younger if accompanied by a parent/guardian, Lung Power uses innovative activities to educate and engage parents and children.
