Peer Support Program
Are you or your child newly diagnosed with an allergy?
Through our peer support program, you could be matched with someone who has already learned to live with the reality of allergies and received basic allergy guidelines from Allergy Quebec. While it is important to be guided by a healthcare professional, the goal here is to help reduce the anxiety associated with an allergy diagnosis and facilitate navigating your life with allergies.
If you would like to participate in this free program, please contact us at nutrition@allergiesquebec.ca or at 514 990-2575 ext. 201.
