Food allergy talks for students
Ken visits schools to give a short, friendly talk that helps students understand food allergies — what they are, how to keep a classmate safe, and why kindness at lunch matters. No medical jargon, built for kids.
What Students Take Away
Simple ideas kids actually remember
Every talk is written for the room it's in — younger students get simple, visual explanations; older students get a bit more depth. The goal is always the same: understanding, not fear.
- What a food allergy is, in plain kid-friendly language
- Why some classmates carry an EpiPen, and what it's for
- What to do (and who to tell) if a classmate has a reaction
- Simple lunchroom habits that keep everyone safer
- Why including a classmate with allergies matters
Format
Fits an assembly or a single classroom
Talks run about 20–40 minutes and flex to whatever time your school can give — a full-grade assembly or one classroom visit. Free for BC schools, with time for student questions.

This talk is general education for students, not medical advice. It does not replace an individual school's allergy action plans or a child's own care plan from their doctor or allergist.
