Mood and Food
Join us for our Mood and Food course. This course is specifically designed to look at the relationship between food, nutrition and mental health. Cooking can be incredibly empowering, helping to build confidence and creativity, as well as being a wonderful way to connect with others through the shared process of dining.
Who’s this for?
This course is aimed at individuals with lived-experience of mental health issues, and those at risk of experiencing mental health issues such as isolated or disadvantaged groups. The classes will be friendly, welcoming, and safe, with safeguards being put in place to ensure the safety of all participants and staff.
