I genuinely LOVED this course and will definitely hold close some of the words/phrases the speaker used such as "FEEDING = LOVE" and "small compromises can lead to large dividends." We ARE learning more and these areas can be so difficult to treat "universally" b/c each situation, person, and family is different. I would highly recommend this course and think it would be helpful to anyone who has been in these settings for 1 week or 10 years. Respect for quality of life goes a long way.

My co-worker and I are always telling patients that we are not "the food police."
