Mental Health

These web pages and 'action-based' resources are designed to support the delivery of basic nutrition care by non-nutrition mental health professionals (e.g. case managers/key workers/care co-ordinators) to their community-based patients or clients.

These resources are a useful first line of nutrition education. They are not designed to replace specialised nutrition and dietetic services. They have been developed with the recognition of the relationship that exists between mental health service case managers and their patients.

They are not designed to be handouts for patients, but to be 'action-based'; to direct and inform basic nutrition education by case managers/key workers. They also provide the 'who' and 'how' for more specialised referrals.
