Most mental health professionals have been taught to “stay in their lane” and only use their psychology, counseling or social work training to focus on the patients’ mental health. We were trained to let the Physician address the physical health and let the church or religion handle the spiritual health of our patients. However, now more than ever before, there are expectations that we are able to see the patient’s health through the lens of wholeness. Still, many of us lack the advanced skills to feel confident to do so.
The time has come for mental health professionals to feel fully confident in bringing together all 3 areas of wholeness for a patient; physical, psychological and spiritual nutrition. Nutrition is more than just food. Nutrition is what you are hungry for, what you feed yourself and how to address the connections between the physical self, the psychological self and the spiritual self. Participants will learn how each of these areas of health are intertwined, how to talk patients about them and the skills to help patients achieve better understanding of this health triad.
