Introduction to Mental Health & Nutrition for Teens is a self-paced, 16-week course designed to help students understand the connection between nutrition and mental well-being. Throughout the course, learners will explore how different nutrients—such as Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and antioxidants—affect brain function and mental health. Topics will include the gut-brain axis, mindful eating, body image, emotional eating, stress management, and how to create balanced meals for optimal physical and mental health. With weekly quizzes, video lessons, and practical activities, this course offers teens a comprehensive understanding of how food and nutrition impact both their mind and body. Additionally, if learners prefer a live class experience, a live version of this course is also available. This course uses an engaging mix of teaching methods, including easy-to-understand video lessons, informative slides, and interactive quizzes. Each lesson will focus on a specific topic, followed by an activity to reinforce learning. As a self-paced course, students have the flexibility to learn at their own speed, but with the option of live sessions for those who prefer more direct interaction. The course structure encourages active learning through a combination of lecture-style content, videos, and discussions, ensuring that teens are engaged and can easily connect the material to their daily lives. By the end of the course, learners will have the knowledge and tools to improve their mental health through nutrition and make informed choices about their diet.
