It’s hard to think of another time when children and teenagers are as hyper-aware of their bodies and health. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only heightened people’s awareness of their health, but the periods of isolation and disruption to daily routines have put many in a fragile state, physically and mentally. Recent research also highlights the link between nutrition, diet quality and mental health in children, adolescents, and adults.
In this talk, Christine will outline the latest stats on Children & Teenage mental health, disordered eating and the underlying research regarding the importance of Nutrition and key foods and nutrients. She will provide practical tips and examples of initiatives to improve food provision and nutrition education.
There will be a Q&A session at the end of the talk to answer parent’s questions on this topic.
