other local lung disease services. Form a team of family, friends,
neighbors and co-workers, and help us ensure that all Bay Area
residents can breathe easier. With music, food, prizes and more,
this is truly an event the whole family can enjoy! visit

We’re Back! Breathe California programs gear up for the start of fall. With the fall upon us, a number of Breathe
California’s programs are back in action. With school back in
session, all of the agency’s school-based programs are poised
to return to local classrooms. With its innovative CLASP peer-mentor program
and teen quit-smoking program, Quit the
Hits, the
agency will be working with thousands of students to keep them off
tobacco. Our asthma management
classes will
also be coming to the classroom to help school-age children learn
how to take control of their asthma. Breathe California will also
be reaching out to school-site staff through its
Tools for
Schools program, to help schools implement simple measures to
identify and remedy respiratory hazards on
campus.
Also coming back from their own two-month summer break is our Better Breathers Club, which will resume its monthly (& quarterly) meetings this September. In addition, on September 20th, Breathe California is proud to be sponsoring the fall’s first Asthma Forum at Cassel Elementary School in San Jose. Join us to learn how to help you children take control of their condition. Click here for more details on this upcoming event.
