Lauren Rose, a dietitian with the Mount Sinai Academic Family Health Team, described how, due to Covid, her team adapted the Craving Change program to meet their clients’ needs:
“Especially since the pandemic, the need has increased for supports around emotional and challenging eating behaviour. We modified Craving Change to be a virtually-led workshop and found it helpful to use the slides and worksheets to a greater degree than in our previous in-person groups. We have had to adapt to those who aren’t as comfortable with technology and did so successfully based on the clients’ great workshop evaluations and feedback. Clients have reported improvements in behaviours, self-confidence and efficacy and in receiving support from our practice. Thanks to some adaptation we can continue to offer Craving Change in our clinic!”
