Education Programs

Every year, the American Lung Association helps thousands of people manage their lung disease, overcome their tobacco addiction and live healthier lives, thanks to help from our wide range of education and training resources.

Whether you interested in quitting smoking, facing lung disease or just have an interest in learning more about your lungs, we have the learning opportunity for you.

Asthma Basics is a free one-hour interactive online learning module ideal for individuals with asthma, parents of children with asthma, co-workers, friends and family who want to learn more about asthma.

Better Breathers Clubs are in-person support groups led by volunteers all across the country. They offer the opportunity to learn ways to better cope with lung disease while getting the support of others in similar situations.

Freedom From Smoking® (FFS) is a program for adults who are ready to quit smoking. Because most people know that smoking is dangerous to their health, the program focuses almost exclusively on how to quit, not why to quit.

Breathe Well, Live Well: The Guide to Managing Asthma at Home and Work is an empowering learning experience that shows you how to develop asthma self-management skills and build support teams at home and at work.

Radon Basics is a free, one hour online learning program designed to help homeowners, housing professionals and healthcare providers understand more about radon, a radioactive cancer-causing gas commonly found indoors at dangerous levels.

COPD Basics is offered as a self-paced online learning module to help people learn more about COPD. The program is ideal for people who have recently been diagnosed with COPD, their families and healthcare professionals such as nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapists.
