Part 2 of a Webinar Series: The Ethics of Hunger | Presented by Clancy Cash Harrison, MS, RDN, FAND | Wednesday, September 18, 2019, from 2–3 PM EDT | Earn 1 CEU Free | Brought to you through the support of American Pistachio Growers

This webinar is pre-approved by the CDR for 1 ethics credit.

Hunger is an ethical issue first — it isn't just a philanthropic or moral issue. Bringing assumptions and perceptions about a person's access to healthy food hurts our clients' health. If we don't ask the right questions about food insecurity we inadvertently encourage the stigma associated with food assistance; we contribute to the increase in 10 major chronic diseases and exacerbate existing chronic disease; and we perpetuate the cycle of poor food access.

In the second of this two-part series, Clancy Cash Harrison, MS, RDN, FAND, will bridge the knowledge gap between the overall health of our clients and food insecurity. She will dive deep into the ethics of the food insecurity epidemic, focusing on the symptoms, risk factors, and the costs of allowing food insecurity to go untreated. Clancy will also discuss the important dynamic of patient care, sharing coping mechanisms, all-important techniques to screen patients with sensitivity, and how to use patient-centered language to reduce the stigma of food insecurity.
