Trauma-Informed Essentials for RDs
nurturing a safer space for your clients
Hey RD!
Have you encountered times when a client seems inexplicably stuck and struggling to change their eating habits, despite trying your best to “meet them where they are”?
Have you found some clients disclosing really heavy stuff about their past, and you’re not sure what it has to do with their relationship to food?
Have you noticed some clients having really strong reactions or completely shutting down when you are trying offer suggestions?
You might have found yourself wondering if there is more going on beneath the surface for these folks, or you might even know they have a trauma history.
Join me for this FREE 1 hour webinar for a primer on trauma-inform care, designed specifically for dietitians!
From this training you’ll walk away with:

More about Angela
I have been a dietitian for 11 years, and a counsellor for 3 years. If I had to choose one thing about my counsellor training that changed my practice as a dietitian, it is hands down trauma-informed care!
So often I would struggle when working with clients who seemed stuck in the change process, not knowing how their story with food impacted how they showed up with me.
Put simply, learning more about how trauma impacted my clients made it easier to work alongside them, especially when they might otherwise be labelled as “resistant to change”.
Essentially, trauma-informed care helps shift the narrative from “what is wrong with this person, and why can’t they change?” to “what happened to this person, and what protective role has this eating behaviour served for them?”
I am passionate about helping other dietitians gain skills in trauma-informed care so we can collectively create safer spaces for our clients and communities.
