Growing FPIES Awareness
Join Heather Martin as she explores 5 of the common myths related to Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). Heather is a Licensed and Registered Dietitian, mother of a child living with FPIES and volunteer for The FPIES Foundation. Video by Jackie Morrow, media specialist at Nordstrom and mother to a child with FPIES, who has been inspired to volunteer her time and talents to help raise FPIES awareness.
In addition to the daily management of FPIES, individuals, families and providers often find themselves in the position of advocate, spreading FPIES awareness in a variety of professional and casual settings. The resources in this chapter of the Learning Library will help you to do this! Peruse the various videos and explore what resources would work best for your awareness needs-- from social media shares to educating communities to informing colleagues.
We are always looking for new ways to spread FPIES awareness and your voice is an essential tool in this process! If you have an idea for an awareness resource, please reach out and connect with us at The FPIES Foundation today!
This "Tips for Living with FPIES" video, in partnership with The Mighty, is a compilation of quotes from families living with FPIES and was created by FPIES Foundation volunteer, Jackie Morrow. Jackie is a mother to a child with FPIES and has been inspired to volunteer her time and talents to help raise FPIES awareness. Jackie is media specialist at Nordstrom and by volunteering at The FPIES Foundation she is eligible to participate in their employee volunteer program. Nordstrom makes a monetary contribution to the FPIES Foundation for every 15 hours she volunteers. Win-Win!

What is an ally? When living with the diagnosis of FPIES, affected individuals, their families, and the medical professionals who support them rely on allies. An ally can be a person or an organization, young or "experienced," new to FPIES or an FPIES veteran. Together, we can all be allies for one another, across our local and global communities. Together, we are the voice and together we will continue to educate, advocate and support.
Have you ever wondered the ins and outs of creating an FPIES resource table for your next awareness event? FPIES Foundation Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director, Amanda LeFew, guides you through the basic steps you need to follow to get started.
"How to Help an FPIES Family Today" is a letter to our family and friends that provides insight into the life and needs of an FPIES family and how friends and extended family can support and encourage the family affected by this diagnosis. Read more on here: http://fpiesfoundation.org/how-to-hel...
