Research has demonstrated that people living with severe psychiatric conditions may have an increased risk of heart disease and related conditions. NAMI NJ's Hearts & Minds program seeks to raise awareness and provide information on: diabetes, diet, exercise, and smoking. The program also includes basic information on addictions, recovery, stigma, and treatment. Along with information on diabetes and sleep apnea, Hearts & Minds contains tips for exercise, diet -- including a shopping list template, recipes, and a food diary.
