Join Registered Dietitian Rebecca Sovdi from First Nations Health Authority for Healthy Eating for Better Mental Wellbeing. Healthful eating and having a positive relationship with food is about so much more than nutrient content. Our eating habits are shaped by many different internal personal and cultural factors and external societal factors. Let’s chat about how food and food enjoyment in a society with so many different food choices can impact our mental well-being.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session participants will be able to:
- Identify societal and personal factors that shape eating habits
- Reflect on how eating habits can positively or negatively impact mood and mental health
- Identify how healthy eating can set a good foundation for children’s mental health
- Discuss healthy eating as a component of treatment for individuals living with mental health challenges and/or addictions
