Noticeboard

On behalf of the Psychology - Hinengaro Special Interest Group I am both pleased and proud to advise the Diabetes, Eating Behaviours, and Body Satisfaction  Guidance is now live on the NZSSD website    - CLICK HERE. Some of you would have heard the "whistle stop tour" at the recent ASM.

This guidance addresses an unmet need through the development of screening, assessment, and treatment recommendations for tāngata whaiora who live with diabetes and who face challenges with body satisfaction and eating behaviours, regardless of the type of diabetes they have. We have also provided strategies for kaimahi positionality and engagement. 

This guidance was developed by working and consultation rōpū and the approach taken was embedded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles as well as ensuring the voice of lived experience was heard.

This guidance is written for kaimahi (health professionals) working with tāngata whaiora who live with any type of diabetes.

He kokonga whare e kitea, he kokonga ngākau e kore e kitea

A corner of a house may be seen and examined; not so the corners of the heart

We hope you find this useful and we welcome your thoughts and feedback. 

Kia ora koutou,

Dr Jo McClintock  (she/her)
