While the teenage years bring newfound freedom, they also bring challenging social scenarios when it comes to food allergies. In this session, we will role-play several awkward situations common to teens with food allergies, ranging from ordering in a restaurant with friends to going on a first date. Teens will then brainstorm several ways to handle each of these situations safely and smoothly, with the opportunity to practice these strategies and share with the group. The goal of this session is to equip teens with an arsenal of calm and creative strategies to employ in everyday life. As an added bonus, this session is sure to be LOL-worthy!
