Chews to Change
A mental health toolkit
Considering the needs of a 24-year-old university graduate suffering from loneliness and anxiety, I created a personalised wellness toolkit. The aim was to alleviate negative feelings and make transformative changes in habits and behaviours over a 100-day period.
​
For this toolkit, I focused on using food as a form of anxiety relief and a way to combat isolation.
