        Relationship with Food; small group work for those struggling with emotional eating/ depression and low mood associated

        with disordered eating/ weight issues)

·       Online and physical resources to support healthy eating and cooking on a budget; and specific online resources for

        professionals and online groups, as well as some online courses

 

What makes Health-Works different?

·       Led by qualified Nutritionists, who have experience of working with and in the community

·       Our approach within the community is flexible - aiming to meet people ‘where they are’ with their lifestyle, cultural or

        religious influences, their budget and their mental health. 

·       We promote independence through education and engagement thus building resilience and enabling people to take control

        for their own health, with support from their community and ourselves.

 

What are CHW principles?

·       Everyone should have access to healthy food which enables them to live a healthy, active and productive life, regardless of

        their background or situation.

·       We are all individuals and respond differently within any situation. Our approach takes this into consideration.

·       We encourage open and honest discussions - whilst respecting the diverse communities we live and work with. 

•    We work with partners and groups that have the needs of their communities at heart and are prepared to co-design               services to meet their diverse needs.
