Events › Hearts + Minds | Presented by NAMI

You are complex, unique, & interconnected from head to toe. Explore how your body systems interact, managing the physical effects of mental illness, & lifestyle options to help feel better.

This 5 week session builds on the previous week's information, so we encourage you to attend all sessions. Some of the information you will learn includes:

• 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

You are a whole human being — not a medical condition or a mental health diagnosis. You are not alone and you are not powerless.
