Power Breathing Program

The Power Breathing Program provides a basic understanding of asthma and its management in a peer-friendly environment. It empowers and motivates adolescents, ages 11-19, to take control of their asthma on a personal level. Power Breathing is the only nationally available asthma education program on the market that acknowledges and addresses teens’ social and lifestyle concerns. The program is presented in three 90-minute sessions or alternately six 45-minute sessions suitable for school settings. An additional fourth session is designed for older teens leaving home or entering the workforce. Each session includes hands-on instruction; discussion and strategic thinking; video animation; and Class Dismissed!—a board game to test asthma knowledge.
