Living with Anaphylaxis is like a hidden disability and yet its dangers affect every minute of the lives of those living with it. It is difficult at times knowing how to cope with these daily challenges and our only safeguard against tragedy is knowledge and sharing information. The support group offers anaphylactic individuals and their families a chance to gain knowledge.

Every family living with anaphylaxis has knowledge to share and it is this invaluable exchange of information that benefits us all. Not only do we receive really helpful advice from expert speakers and members, but we also gain the support of others which when combined boosts all of our daily confidence in coping with anaphylaxis.
