Please join your very own Extension team, NW ROTAC, for a webinar on June 18 from noon until 1 p.m. Registration can be completed through our website.
Nutrition education for people experiencing and recovering from substance use disorder requires understanding of the specific nutritional needs and considerations of the population; the ability to practice trauma informed care; and skills in self-regulation to support positive and caring relationships that foster trust between participants and educators. SNAP-Ed is in a unique position to provide this education and programming; however, further learning and skill development is needed. This presentation will share information on a project carried out by WA SNAP-Ed, in partnership with Leah’s Pantry in California to provide staff training through a Learning Collaborative model and the adaptation of a popular nutrition education curriculum to be used with this audience.
Speakers Jen Moss and Kristen Rezabek are registered dietitians.
Learning objectives:
- Learn about the SNAP-Ed program and consider opportunities for partnerships.
- Gain a greater understanding of the unique nutrition education needs of people experiencing and recovering from substance use disorder and the role SNAP-Ed can play in providing responsive care.
- Discover how Learning Collaborative model is useful in strengthening staff skills and knowledge.
NAADAC credits are available.
