Where Can I Find Support for Patients and Caregivers?

  • Join the AAFA Online Community for Asthma and Allergic Diseases
    Read our blog, take polls, share photos, sign up for our webinars and keep current with asthma and allergy research. Most importantly, you can connect with others who manage asthma, allergies and allergic skin conditions for information and moral support.
  • Join the Black Women’s Asthma Alliance community on Facebook
    The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) acknowledges that Black women face the greatest challenges when it comes to asthma care. To help address these challenges, AAFA created the Black Women’s Asthma Alliance, a private Facebook group for Black women and their caregivers who live with asthma. This group provides a supportive and educational community to ask questions, learn more about asthma care, and meet others. Join us at aafa.org/joinbwaa
