Abstract
We present Food4Thought, a virtual nutrition outreach program for community members with serious mental illness (SMI) and staff that support them at a community mental health agency. The program followed the community participatory model which promotes community-academic collaborations to ensure program content is relevant and meaningful. The goals of our initiative were to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefit of Food4Thought and provide an opportunity for medical trainees to develop a public health intervention program.
