NAMI Hearts+Minds is a 5 session course designed to educate and empower you to better manage your health — mentally and physically.
Please note: This VIRTUAL course is once a week, every Wednesday from February 1st through March 1st, 2023 via ZOOM.
NAMI Hearts+Minds is a program that educates and empowers individuals to better manage their health, mentally and physically.
The need to focus on mental and physical health simultaneously has never been more important. People with mental illness have significantly higher rates of obesity, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disease. These conditions worsen health and reduce lifespans.
The best possible mental health recovery requires attention to all aspects of your health. NAMI believes that mental health is physical health.
In the program, you’ll learn about:
- How to advocate for your health
- How physical and mental health are specifically connected
- Gut health and how nutrition can affect the brain
- Current information on the interplay of diet and fitness — and how they can influence your symptoms
- Effective methods for managing the side effects of medication
- Substance abuse and smoking cessation
- How to gain a greater sense of control over how you feel
Improve symptoms by learning how body systems interact and by effectively managing the physical effects of mental illness, using strategies that improve long-term health. Register now to reserve your seat in this important course!
