Hello & Welcome!

It is important that you take a few moments to read and review the information in this program overview before you begin.

.

The role of the environment in our lives is enormous; its impact profound. Environmental health is more that having water to drink and air to breathe that is free from toxic or poisonous chemicals. It includes the materials with which we surround ourselves, the condition in which we maintain ourselves, and the impact our choices have–on ourselves, our families, each other, on all living things, and on the natural environment: this planet we call home.

The CELACare Mast Cell Health Certificate Programs address the needs of a specific group of people: individuals who have mast cell activation related issues and disorders (for example, long COVID, fibromyalgia, POTS, EDS, MCAS, chronic fatigue, leaky gut, being sensitive to multiple chemicals, asthma, inflammation, neurological disorders, and more) whose health and lives have been and are being negatively impacted by environmental factors.

The first step in supporting these individuals, whether at work, at home, our personal and/or professional lives is through education and learning the facts aboaut these medical disorders. It is only through becoming educated and learning the facts that we are able to provide appropriate supports, appropriate care, and insightful interventions to help meet their health and life needs.

Thank you for taking the first step

Understanding the Program

Its Focus:

Although multiple disorders come under the umbrella heading of environmental illness, the program focuses on mast cell activation related issues and disorders. Included in this focus are long COVID, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), irritable bowel and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), asthma, migraines, sensitivity to chemicals, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and more.

Its Format:

• The CELACare Mast Cell Health certificate program is made up of 6 modules (or MODs) that you will be completing. Students have up to six months from their start date to complete the program.
• Each MOD has a combination of learning tasks that can include reading assignments, website explorations, and video watching assignments. There is an online quiz at the end of each MOD. All MODs are online and the work is submitted online.
• Each MOD has its own ‘Learning Guide” that provides the specific information you will need in order to complete the work of each MOD. Make sure you read each MOD’s “Learning Guide” at the very beginning of the MOD. The “Learning Guide” contains the learning tasks and information for the MOD including videos to watch, websites to visit, and Supplemental Reading.
• Students are to complete the MODs in numerical order according to the MOD number (for example, start with MOD 1 and then, when you’ve completed the learning tasks of MOD 1 and successfully passed the MOD 1 quiz, go on to MOD 2, and so on.
• At the end of each MOD, students must take a quiz that covers that MOD’s learning and learning tasks. Each quiz must be passed with a score of 80% or higher.
• There is a final exam that students must take after they have successfully completed the learning tasks of all MODs and passed all of the MODs’ quizzes with a minimum score of 80%. The final exam must be passed with a minimum score of 80% in order to successfully complete the program and receive your certificate.
