Resources for Families and Community Health Professionals
Resources for children's environmental health focus on certain exposures from air and water in the physical/built environment.
Resources and online training materials to inform and educate families and community health workers, home visiting nurses and health officers are available at the links below. A forthcoming interactive resource guide will aid in conversations to identify actions families can take to reduce contaminant exposure and asthma triggers. This “one-touch” approach to environmental health incorporates these topics into regular wellness or healthy living visits with families rather than needing a separate, additional visit to cover this information.
