Thank you! The Symposium on Mental Health and Nutrition was a great success! There was a lot of people with us at the Ballroom in the MacEwan Conference and Events Centre.
“SHOULD NUTRITION BE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN THE TREATMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS? Evidence ranging from ADHD to Mood Disorders to Autism”
We want to thank all our volunteers for their work. We could not have done it without you!
Thank you to our sponsors, the Ability Society and to Autism Calgary for their promotional assistance.
We want to thank our guests for being a great audience and we hope that you can share what you learned April 13, 2014 with many others.
