Children and teenagers with asthma can now access a dedicated therapeutic education program integrated into their care pathway at the Children’s Hospital in Bordeaux.
The pediatric pulmonology department at the CHU de Bordeaux launched “l’école du souffle,” a multidisciplinary initiative designed to help young patients and their families manage crises, use treatments correctly, and maintain active participation in sports and school life.
Program participants include young asthma patients, their parents, and close relatives looking for answers regarding diagnosis, medication routines, and daily management strategies.
Sessions bring together pediatric pulmonologists, nurses, physical therapists, psychologists, and educators inside a dedicated space at the Children’s Hospital.
- Individual weekly consultations
- Interactive group workshops for children, titled “Champion du souffle”
- Supervised sports and athletic sessions for kids and teenagers
- Dedicated parent workshops focusing on crisis management
- Remote consultations conducted via video link
The program aims to tailor learning objectives to the specific age, needs, and daily routines of each child and family.
Families can register for the initiative at the hospital facility located at Place Amélie Raba-Léon, 33076 Bordeaux Cedex.
The hospital also provides supplementary digital resources, including instructional videos and downloadable operational guides on nasal hygiene for infants and adolescents, updated in October 2026.
