Trauma-Informed Nutrition: Principles and Application of TI Care to the Field of Dietetics
Program Overview
Psychological trauma is a pervasive and harmful public health issue. Its impacts can be lasting and severe without proper intervention and prevention. Due to the high prevalence of trauma, registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) are likely to experience clients, patients, and community members who have histories of trauma; therefore, it is critical and urgent for dietetic professionals to integrate trauma-informed approaches into practice.
