I recently delivered a men's community nutrition and mental health program. It was such a privilege to share my time and knowledge with these men. I sense that I learned just as much from them as they did from me. I received some of the most wonderful feedback (heart melt).
The most resounding feedback, albeit not surprising to me was that it was so appreciated by the men that weight was not the focus of this program. For many of the men, connected with mental health services all too often their weight is the focus. This is not only not helpful, it can often be harmful. We need to be better.
