"Nurturing & Supporting Food Insecure Clients"

A new Dietitians of Canada resource on working with low income clients:

Guidance for Dietitians: Nurturing & Supporting Food Insecure Clients (PDF)

(Please note: This document is copyright 2009 Dietitians of Canada but may be reproduced in its entirety provided source is acknowledged.)

Three other key resources I've recently added to my collection of evidence & expert opinion on food security are:

Community Food Security – Position of Dietitians of Canada

•   Complete position statement (PDF)

Individual and Household Food Insecurity in Canada: Position of Dietitians of Canada

•   Complete position statement (PDF)

Food Insecurity in Canada - from the Canadian Journal of Public Health. (Found via Gerry's List, an email distribution list that reaches 900 registered dietitians, students and interns across BC and beyond.)

Thanks Elaine, this is really helpful stuff. I was working in central London last year and food insecurity had a big impact on my work. At the moment I'm working in less of a big city location and interestingly there are far fewer extremes in people's financial situation. But it is still an issue, so these resources look really useful.

So glad to hear you find them helpful. I'm currently work on another post on food security, a list of projects in my health region. May be interesting to compare with what's going on in your community.
