Striving for optimal mental health!

The Mental Health Association wants everyone to know that caring for their minds, as well as their bodies, is good for overall health and key to their success at home, at work and at school. The theme of “Mind Your Health” focuses on the mind-body connection and highlights the link between our mental and physical health. We encourage you to join the fight for good mental health.

OVEREATING
for Women

Do you eat when you are sad, upset, stressed, bored, angry, or nervous?

Do you eat differently when you know that no one is watching?

Do you look into the refrigerator even when you are not hungry?

Do you have uncontrollable sweet cravings?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then this group is for you.

This free group will help you to become conscious about your eating habits in a gentle way and help you to understand more about yourself and your desire to eat. If you are plagued by the compulsion to diet, throw your scale out the window and come join us.
