A youth worker's guide to nutrition for young people

A youth worker's guide to nutrition for young people is designed for the Victorian Youth Justice system, which provides custodial and community-based services for 10–21 year old offenders.

The guide has been specially designed to provide nutrition information for youth workers, allied health staff and general practitioners working in youth justice centres with young people.

The guide has been compiled with feedback from staff and clients in Youth Justice centres to ensure that the requested nutrition information is included. The guide brings together a wide range of topical nutrition-related issues for young people, and may also be useful for general community workers, health professionals, care givers and parents.
