I’m writing on behalf of the Nutrition Resource Centre to kindly remind you of our upcoming conference this November, 9, 2017 on nutrition and mental health in Toronto, Ontario.
At this one day event, we aim to bring together nutrition and health promotion professionals from across Ontario (and Canada) to explore the relationship between nutrition and mental health. We’ll have a mix of presentations, workshops and networking sessions so attendees can learn from others across the health sector whose work is connected to this topic.
Our 2017 Forum will combine scientific evidence and practical experiences surrounding nutrition and mental health with moving personal stories and opportunities to network with inspiring leaders in the field.
We’re thrilled to bring a diverse range of speakers from academia, community health, public health and more to dive into the complex relationship between nutrition and mental health/ wellbeing. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Drew Ramsey, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Colombia University, and one of psychiatry’s leading proponents of using dietary change to help balance moods, sharpen brain function and improve mental health. Read his bio here.
If you’re passionate about maximizing nutrition and mental health together to promote overall health and wellbeing, this is your can’t-miss event of the year!
