Title: Supporting Early Allergen Introduction: Practical Strategies for WIC Teams
When: Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 1:00pm ET
Description: Join this engaging webinar specifically for WIC staff who want to stay at the forefront of infant food allergy prevention. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based strategies to help families safely introduce common allergens early—while addressing their concerns and building trust. This session will focus on guiding families through early allergen introduction, addressing common concerns, and promoting safe feeding practices.
You’ll also get a hands-on look at tools from FAMP-IT, which stands for Food Allergy Management and Prevention for Infants and Toddlers. This includes the FAMP-IT platform for practitioners, a powerful tool WIC staff can use to access evidence-based resources, streamline counseling, and strengthen support for families at risk for food allergies, and FAMP-IT Family, a place for families to find reliable information and resources.
Walk away with ready-to-use approaches that make early allergen introduction feel less overwhelming for parents and more manageable for you.
Speakers: Michael Pistiner, MD, MMSc, Director of Food Allergy Advocacy, Education, and Prevention at Mass General Brigham for Children and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School; Sandra Rosenbluth, MS, Digital Health Communications Specialist.
