what we do...

Market Street Community Wellbeing Service provides a range of group, peer and one to one community based activities to support mental wellbeing and recovery & social inclusion.

We work with a variety of community organisations to deliver a comprehensive range of programs and activities to help individuals in their recovery journey.

We offer individuals opportunities to learn healthy living skills and coping strategies; further their education through accredited courses, essential skills and vocational training; build new friendships and take part in recreational activities like art and crafts as well as take part in personal development activities.

cooking skills

Here are some of the bene-

fits of going to a Cooking

Class.

1. Math Skills: Doubling a recipe requires addition (or multiplication) skills,

2. Reading and understanding step-by-step directions, adding ingredients in sequence, and techniques such as folding and blending, are all important components to yielding the finished food product.

3. Real Life Science: Cooking is a science experiment. Too much salt, baking powder, not enough flour, or the wrong timing and you're likely to have a flop on your hands. Cooking provides an opportunity for kids to get hands-on experience with basic science.

4. Self-Esteem: Learning a new skill, such as baking or cooking, is known to help self-esteem.

5. Communication: A relaxed atmosphere in the kitchen offers an opportunity to talk, about anything!

6. Life Skills: Cooking is a life skill, much like driving a car, learning to read, or swimming.

7. Fun! Last but not least, cooking is fun! Having fun in the kitchen builds positive memories, good vibes, and good food.
