The Family Nutrition Approach

This involves relatives/family who  live in the client's household; in assisting  the client to make necessary dietary changes  to  prevent or  to control diet-responsive diseases and  to  maintain client adherence  to  nutrition advice over  the  long-term.  Family counseling  is used very commonly when working with children and  adolescents. Family counseling is appropriate where the client's problems are related to his relationship or function in the family. Working with the family helps to achieve improvement faster and prevent lapses than if  you  treated/worked with the person alone.
