The Intersection of Nutrition and Mental Health:
The Dietitian's Role on the Treatment Team
Dietitians working at the intersection of nutrition and mental health provide essential support for individuals with eating concerns. In fact, they often work in parallel to therapists. This program provides a look into the nutrition session, outlines referral options, equips therapists with resources for identifying eating concerns, and offers strategies for effective, collaborative care.
