Trauma-Informed Dietetic Care

About this event

If you are a Dietitian or Nutrition professional who works with human beings, you will inevitably be working alongside people who have experienced or are currently experiencing high levels of stress. Some of your clients will also have experienced trauma, both named and unnamed. It has traditionally been viewed that the role of the Dietitian is very separate to that of the therapist in mental health, but what we are now understanding is the significant intersection of nutrition-related concerns, eating behaviours and mental health. We will be seeing people whose nervous systems are sending messages through their food-related behaviours and with insight, we can support our clients to decode and understand their experiences. This is a 12 hour self-paced course which is accompanied by bi-monthly live support sessions with Tracy and Fiona.
