This workshop is an opportunity to gain information and advice about how food and nutrition can significantly affect your mental and emotional health. It explains which food can cause problems, which foods can help, why and how to change your diet for the better. Many people are seeking to take control of their emotional and psychological wellbeing using self-help. One self-help strategy is to make changes to what we eat, and there is a growing interest in how food and nutrition can affect emotional and mental health.
