The Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation and its member associations arrange various events, briefings and online lectures. The events are shown in our event calendar (link to the page in Finnish). In addition, we provide briefings for professionals in various fields.
The Federation offer also courses for people with allergies, asthma, various skin conditions, and severe burn injuries, and their family. (Link to the page in Finnish)
Peer support
You can join a private Facebook group called Allergy, asthma & atopic dermatitis peer group in Finland. (Visit an external site. The link opens in a new tab.) In this group, you can exchange thoughts with other asthma patients about your disease and living with it.

Free advisory services provided by the Federation help you in English if you have questions about living with asthma or the social security of an asthma patient.
