Virtual Regional Training: Hoarding and Nutrition
2021-07-28 22:00 - 23:30 | https://gacrs.org/event/virtual-regional-training-hoarding-and-nutrition/
This presentation will help bring awareness about food hoarding and help children make healthy decisions about food. Children in foster care frequently have problems in the area of eating. Children who have not been fed regularly or consistently may develop a survival mentality toward food– feeling there isn’t enough or it won’t be there the next time. Understanding the reasons behind eating problems will help families address the problems in a healthy way, instead of turning food into a power struggle.
