Asthma Awareness Training helps people understand asthma, how it affects breathing, and what to do when someone is having symptoms or an asthma attack. This training covers common triggers, signs to look out for, and how to respond safely and quickly, including the correct use of inhalers and emergency action plans. It is suitable for anyone supporting children or adults with asthma and aims to build confidence in managing the condition in everyday settings.
