Micronutrients and Mental Health Post-Christchurch Shootings



Role: Co-PI

Post 15 March terrorist attacks in New Zealand, I joined Te Puna Toiora: Mental Health and Nutrition Research team at University of Canterbury undertaking micronutrient intervention to address mental wellbeing of survivors and victims.

I was awarded a scholarship to work with this team.
