Give Me Space! is a free workshop for children living with asthma and their families. Join us for a day of fun and learning with Community Asthma Educators from the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District and Milk Crate Circus! While the kids enjoy learning circus skills, adults will join Community Asthma Educators to discuss strategies for managing your child's asthma and participate in a consultation session facilitated by Healthy Cities Australia (HCA).HCA is working with Asthma Australia to improve outcomes for children with asthma in the Illawarra. We want to hear from families about your experience with asthma and the care you have received. Your experiences will help inform future programs for children with asthma in the Illawarra.

Please note:

• Only families currently supporting a child with asthma are eligible to attend (whole family welcome)
• Children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults must participate in the education and consultation sessions to be eligible for the shopping voucher.
