Course overview

In this specialized training, caregivers, residential staff, and support professionals will gain essential knowledge and strategies for effectively assisting new group home residents who have experienced food deprivation in the past. The transition into a structured group living environment can be challenging for individuals with a history of food insecurity, often leading to behaviors such as hoarding, overeating, food anxiety, distrust around mealtime, and difficulty adjusting to shared food resources. This course equips participants with the skills to create a supportive, trauma-informed approach to meal planning, food access, and emotional well-being. Participants will explore: 1. The psychological and physiological effects of past food deprivation and how they manifest in daily behaviors. 2. Common challenges faced by food-insecure individuals in group home settings. 3. Practical strategies to promote a sense of food security, reduce anxiety, and foster trust. 4. Methods for encouraging healthy eating habits without triggering fear-based responses. 5. Approaches to maintaining fairness and structure while accommodating individual needs. 6. Effective communication techniques to build rapport and reinforce a positive, stable environment.
