Our Community Services:
Head lice are an important community issue, causing disruption to families, schools, and the work place. They impede with student learning, interfere with attendance, affect overall self-esteem and reactions to head lice can lead to teasing or bullying.
Managing head lice from a community level has been proven to help prevent outbreaks. LICE911 has travelled to many remote areas to teach and train entire communities. Our solutions for communities program has been extremely successful normalizing the subject of head lice and debunking the myths.
Screening Training Session:
Properly trained volunteers greatly reduce the chance of misdiagnosis and are able to offer additional help to families who are struggling. The LICE911 training session teaches everything you need to establish and maintain a successful screening program.
This training program is ideal for community groups, daycare centres or clubs. We include a lice checklist, how to deal with outbreaks, confidentiality, screening etiquette, preventative measures, how to break the lifecycle and beat the infestation, and educational materials including samples of head lice and nits.
Our hands-on screening component provides an opportunity to experience a screening session, and maintain confidentiality while building confidence diagnosing infestations.
You will leave our session with enough knowledge to confidently screen, treat and help prevent head lice infestations. All participants receive an information package and a LICE911 School Screening Kit is included.
$575.00 for up to 5 people ($50 for each additional person)
Removal Training Session
Having a group of volunteers trained in head lice removal will provide additional help to families struggling as they know first hand what it is like to remove head lice.
The LICE911 Removal Training session includes information on lice facts, the lifecycle of the head louse, how to diagnose an infestation, confidentiality, and current preventative measures with a huge focus on using the Wet-Combing method of removal. Our hands-on component teaches exactly how to eliminate head lice and is guarranteed to build confidence.
This session goes well as a second component to your screening training. Each volunteer leaves with an information package and LICE911 Removal Kit. Many communities are using these kits as a loan out to families in their school as they are completely reusable.
