The purpose of “All About Asthma” is to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence parents, teachers and child care providers need to care for children with asthma. We offer this training periodically in collaboration with local 4Cs (Child Care Coordinating Councils) in English, Chinese and Spanish. Providers who participate in the course earn professional growth units.
South Bronx Rising Together is a collaborative network of program providers and community stakeholders. This group will work together to create a community that is college and career ready by leveraging the expertise of a network of families, educators, business leaders, community advocates and service providers to support the lifelong success of families and youth in the community.
