Session Feedback (for CEs)

Mental health and nutrition are deeply connected. In this session, a counselor and a dietitian explore how collaboration across fields has the potential to benefit all clients. We will explore various modes of collaboration, including bringing a dietitian on board in private practice or community mental health settings to participate as a provider and consultant. In addition to this, we will discuss the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and mental health, the logistics behind collaboration, and how to ensure that collaboration is beneficial to all involved.
