I am delighted to announce the launch of the Canadian Institute for Studies and Art in Nutrition Education (CISANE), an organization I have long-imagined as a means to support dietitians and others interested in exploring
the nature and practice of nutrition education in order to optimize
counselling experiences for clients and those engaged in nutrition
counselling work.

About the Nutrition Counselling Skills Salon Series:
The primary target group for the Salon Series is dietitians who may be wondering about the conversations and issues that arise during nutrition counselling sessions (typically, NOT about the body, how it uses food, and nutrient information) and who have experienced the limits to focusing on changing eating behaviour as the counselling outcome.
The Salon Series consists of 3 two-hour Skype sessions during which a maximum of six participants from different parts of Canada (and perhaps beyond?), and with different types and amounts of experience will connect and learn together. The intent of the Salon sessions is to create a community of practitioners who ‘speak the same language’ related to nutrition education and counselling work.
During the Salon sessions, participants will explore ways to interpret nutrition narratives with the view to offering whatever help will help – whatever is consistent with a client’s learning and support needs at the time and place they are at. Participants will explore the notion that people seek nutrition information and advice for a myriad of reasons, not always to change eating behaviour.
Sessions:
Salon 1: Participants will be oriented to and discuss synthesis of three conceptual frameworks (ways of thinking) developed to help nutrition educator/counsellors interpret clients’ nutrition narratives.
When applied, the frameworks serve to focus counselling and education efforts to optimize relevance and effectiveness.
Salon 2: Participants will deconstruct sample narratives and discuss questions arising.
During Week 3, there will not be a Skype Salon. Instead, during this week to prepare for Salon 3, participants will apply the conceptual frameworks in practice.
Salon 3: Participants will share their experiences applying the frameworks.
