Why this course?
A Global Certificate Course in Family Mealtime Appreciation addresses a critical gap in today's fast-paced UK society. With increasing pressures on families, shared mealtimes are dwindling. According to a recent survey, only 35% of UK families regularly eat dinner together, highlighting the need for programs promoting family connection and wellbeing. This decline contributes to rising rates of childhood obesity and mental health issues. The course aims to equip individuals and families with the skills and knowledge to cultivate meaningful mealtimes, fostering stronger bonds and healthier lifestyles.
