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.
